Chrosiothes venturosus Marques & Buckup, 1997: 184 View in CoL , figs. 6, 7 ( Male holotype from Reserva Florestal Adolpho Ducke, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, 20.VIII.1991, H. Höfer leg., deposited in INPA, examined).

Diagnosis. The female is similar to those of C. murici new species by the larger spermathecae close to each other, and by the fertilization ducts closer from the posterior margin of epigynum ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 16, 17 ), but differ by the spermathecae anteriorly coiled, and copulatory ducts opening posteriorly ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 16, 17 ) while in C. murici new species the copulatory ducts open medianly ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 7 – 12 ), and by having the copulatory openings closer from the posterior margin of epigynum ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 16, 17 ). Spermathecae, by transparency, cordiform in ventral view ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 16, 17 ).
