Diagnosis: Distinguished from known congeners by the larger size (length: 4.7-5.3) and by the distinctive shape of E (filiform; fine tapered tip; Figs 35, 45), C (broadest approximately at the center, apical half curved, slightly broader at the tip; Figs 35-36, 41, 45) and RTA (Figs 35-36, 44). Females can be distinguished by the round CO and S (Figs 38-39).
Etymology: The specific name refers to the size of the spiders.
Description: Male: Total length: 4.7-5.3; prosoma length: 2.2-3.1, width: 2.0-2.4. Leg I: femur 3.3, patella 1.0, tibia 3.3, metatarsus 2.3, tarsus 1.3. This species was described in detail by Tang & Li (2010a) and Benjamin (2011) under C. rugosus and thus is not dealt further here.
Distribution: Known from localities in China (Tang & Li, 2010a), Laos, Thailand, on Java and western Borneo.Natural history:Probably a
bark dweller; oftencollected on or under bark.
