Description
C. falcatum are yellowish brown in color, with a long, slender body and brown maxilla and chelicerae. They lack a thoracic furrow. They are distinguished from similar species by a posterior epigyneal depression, copulatory duct coils in three spirals leading downward to the spermatheca in the female vulva, and a finger-like tibial apophysis and long sickle-shaped cymbial spur in the pedipalps of males. They most resemble C. ningmingense but may be distinguished by their thicker tibial apophysis in the male palpus.
Range & habitat
C. falcatum are endemic to Taiwan and widely distributed at elevations between 200m and 800m.
