Epigynum: transverse ridges well-developed, central pit deep, lateral oblique pockets above the 
transversal groove (Fig. 6E). Vulva: lateral wings well developed as round, swollen sacks with 
dorso-median gland ductiles, copulatory ducts describing a posterior-lateral loop, followed by a 
dorsal loop, and finally a posterior-median loop which coils six times and inserts ventrally on the 
round spermathecae (Figs. ID, 6D, F). 
Distribution. — Malaysia, Selangor State, Templer Park, Bukit Anak Takun; known only 
from the type locality.

Diagnosis. — Males of C. discobulbus comb. nov. can be distinguished from those of 
C. anaktakun sp. nov. by the pattern of the mesal bristle of the embolic apophysis, which describes 
a complete loop next to the embolus base and a semi-loop around the bulb, and by the median 
apophysis without a dorsal projection (fig. 3, 5 Wunderlich 2011); in C. anaktakun sp. nov. the 
embolic apophysis describes a semi-loop above the tegulum and cymbium, and the median apoph¬ 
ysis has a dorsal projection (Figs. 1C, 5D-F). Females of C. discobulbus comb. nov. can be distin¬ 
guished from those of C. euryopoides and C. anaktakun sp. nov. by the eleven coils of the copula¬ 
tory ducts (Fig. 7E), whereas C. eufyopoides have eight coils (fig. IIF Miller et al. 2009) and 
C. anaktakun sp. nov. have six coils (Figs. ID, 6E). Also, females of C. discobulbus comb. nov. 
can be distinguished from those of C. anaktakun sp. nov. by the oval spermathecae (Fig. 7E-F; fig. 
7 Wunderlich 2011), whereas C. anaktakun sp. nov. have round spermathecae (Figs. ID, 6E-F).
