Diagnosis. According to Pickard-Cambridge (1901) and Simon (1903) the males of Corythalia brevispina ( Figure 30 ) can be identified by their long and slender RTA ( Figure 32 ). The embolus is quite short, and slightly curved ( Figure 31 ). Strongly sinuous spermatic ducts occupy almost the entire area of the bulbus ( Figure 32 ).

Measurements (mm; specimens from Colombia). Three males: TL= 4.98-5.13; CL= 2.42-2.45; CW= 2.01- 2.03; AL= 2.48-2.51; AERW = 1.53-1.55; PERW = 1.37-1.41; LOQ= 1.23-1.25; PMEP =0.30-0.31; eyes of the second row separated from the ALE by 0.27 mm and from the PLE by 0.33-0.35mm.

Distribution. Corythalia brevispina is known from Colombia and Guatemala.
