Diagnosis

Based on Miranda et al. (2016c), this species may be separated from other Charinus in eastern South America by means of its large size, with carapace ca 80% wider than that of the closely related species, C. brasilianus and C. montanus , the unique small platelets of the sternum, the sucker-like female gonopod, the presence of ten teeth on the cheliceral claw and three spines on the pedipalp tarsus; and the similar length of the proximal article to subsequent articles of the leg I tarsus.

Etymology

Patronym honoring Adolpho Ruschi ( Miranda et al. 2016c).
