Diagnosis

Based on Giupponi & Miranda (2016), this species may be separated from other Charinus in Amazonia and northern South America by means of the following combination of characters: tegument yellowishbrown; median eyes and median ocular tubercle absent; lateral eyes reduced, pale; small, rounded tetra- and pentasternum; cushion-like gonopods without projections and with internal seminal receptacles; pedipalp almost perpendicular to longitudinal axis, similar to that of Paracharon caecus ; two dorsal spines on pedipalp tarsus, small proximal spine, one-quarter length of distal spine; basitibia of leg IV with two pseudo-articles; leg IV basitibia trichobothrium bt situated in proximal third; leg IV distitibia with 16 trichobothria; leg IV distitibia trichobothria bf, bc and sbf equidistant.

The gonopods of C. ricardoi are similar to those of C. bonaldoi , but the pedipalp proportions and length of the pedipalp segments are greater in the former.
