Diagnosis
Males of C. foxae resemble those of C. toadshow, with the sternal concavity occupying the whole sternal length and half of the sternal width, and the epigastric scutum not protruding. However, males of C. foxae can be easily separated by the rectangular anterior margin of the patch of clavate setae, which reaches the anterior margin of the sternum, but with a bare median band, and by their ovoid cymbium-bulb complex with a broadly based and corkscrew-shaped embolus. Females can be easily distinguished from all other Cavisternum species by the long, narrow copulatory duct reaching beyond the tracheal groove.
