Diagnosis

Males of C. mayorum resemble those of C. barthorum in having a long field of clavate setae with sternal concavity covering about half of the sternum width. Males of C. mayorum can be easily separated by the oval field not reaching the anterior sternal margin, the extremely long and undulate male fangs, the strongly protruding epigastic scutum, and the square cymbium-bulb complex with an extremely long, smoothly inward-bent embolus. Females can be easily distinguished by their long, broad copulatory duct, which reaches beyond the tracheal groove.
