Idiosomal venter — Idiosomal venter with one pair of propodogastral, four pairs of hysterogastral, four pairs of genital setae (g 1 - 4, subequel in length) and a pair of anal setae. Genital valves with longitudinal striae. A transverse striae anterior to setae g 1 and posterior to setae g 4. Legs — Leg chaetotaxy: coxae I-IV, 3 - 1 - 3 - 2 sts; trochanters I-IV, 1 - 1 - 2 - 1 sts; basifemora I-IV, 4 - 4 - 3 - 1 sts; telofemora I-IV, 4 sts - 4 sts - 1 asl, 3 sts - 1 asl, 3 sts; genua I-IV, 2 asl, 1 very short asl, {1 asl, 1 sts}, 4 sts - 2 asl, 5 sts - 1 asl, 5 sts - 1 asl, 5 sts; tibiae I-IV, {1 asl, 1 sts}, 1 asl, 4 sts - 1 asl, 5 sts - 1 bsl, 5 sts - 1 T, 4 sts; tarsi I-IV, 3 asl, {1 asl, 1 fam, 1 sts}, 1 dtsl, 2 tsl, 20 sts - 1 bsl, 1 dtsl, 1 tsl, 20 sts - 1 tsl, 20 sts - 19 sts. Surface of trochanters and basifemora I-IV with transverse broken striae. remaining leg segments with papillae which on dorsal side are larger and fewer than on ventral side. Measurements — Length of idiosoma 392 – 430; width 305 – 310. Length of hypognathum 150; width 100 – 102. Length of palps 180 – 190. Chelicerae 138 – 140. Legs: I 280 – 305; II 275 – 285; III 304 – 312; IV 320 – 338.

Remarks — All morphological characteristics of specimens collected seem to be close to those collected from South Africa and UAE (den Heyer, 1979, 2009). However, specimens of the three localities differ in number of sts on tarsi I-IV. The specimens collected differ from Iranian specimens in number of sts on coxa IV and on tarsi I-IV (den Heyer et al., 2011).

BF1D87A4FF98FFE6FC613A03C56DFBF0.taxon	description	Gnathosoma — (Figure 1). Palps consist of five segments (Figure 1 a). Surfaces of trochanter, basifemur, telofemur, and in particular genu covered by denticles. Palpal chaetotaxy from trochanter to tibiotarsus: 0 - 1 - 1 - 3 - 5. Dorsolateral setae on the basi- and telofemora simple. Stout spine-like setae on the genua and tibiotarsi present. Apophysis of telofemur cone-like with slightly pointed apex and closer to the central part of the segment (Figure 1 a). Proximal segment of chelicerae papillate, second segment has some denticles proximodorsolaterally and followed distally by some " furrow-like " lines in different lengths (Figure 1 b). Chelicera terminating in a claw-like digit and with one simple seta (Figure 1 b). The ventral surface of the hypognathum bears four pairs of simple hypognathal setae (hg 1 - 4) and two pairs of adoral setae. Hypognathum with few random papillae and short transverse lines at its base (Figure 1 c). Idiosomal dorsum — (Figure 2 a). Propodosomal plate with two pairs of sensillae (vi, sce) and one pair of simple setae (sci). Setae ve absent. Propodosomal plate generally smooth except for the presence of an oval area of thin broken striae around setae sci. Length of sce about 1.4 times longer than vi. Six pairs of hysterosomal setae (c 1, c 2, d 1, e 1, f 1, h 1) situated on small platelets. Setae f 1 and h 1 longer than other setae. A transverse regular striae pattern occurs between setae c 1 and d 1, widely spaced between setae d 1 - e 1, e 1 - f 1 and f 1 - h 1. Thin striae in form of broken lines in the central regions between setae e 1 - f 1 and between setae f 1 - h 1. Cupule im present posteriolateral to e 1. Setae h 2 occur ventrally. Idiosomal venter — (Figure 2 b). Idiosomal venter with one pair of propodogastral, four pairs of hysterogastral, four pairs of subequal in length genital setae (g 1 - 4) and a pair of anal setae. Genital valves with longitudinal striae. Cupule ih present. Legs — (Figure 3). Leg chaetotaxy: coxae I-IV, 3 - 1 - 3 - 2 sts; trochanters I-IV, 1 - 1 - 2 - 1 sts; basifemora I-IV, 4 - 4 - 3 - 0 sts; telofemora I-IV, 4 sts - 4 sts - 1 asl, 3 sts - 1 asl, 3 sts; genua I-IV, {1 asl, 1 asl}, {1 asl, 1 sts}, 1 asl, 4 sts - 2 asl, 5 sts - 1 asl, 5 sts - 1 asl, 5 sts; tibiae I-IV, {1 asl, 1 sts}, 1 asl, 4 sts - 1 asl, 5 sts - 1 bsl, 5 sts - 1 T, 1 bbsl, 4 sts; tarsi I-IV, 3 asl, {1 asl, 1 fam, 1 sts}, 1 dtsl, 2 tsl, 18 sts - 1 bsl, 1 dtsl, 1 tsl, 21 sts - 1 tsl, 21 sts - 18 sts. Surfaces of trochanters and basifemora I-IV with transverse broken striae. Remaining leg segments with papillae which on dorsal side are larger and fewer than on ventral side. Measurements — Length of idiosoma 540; width 365. Length of hypognathum 168; width 100. Length of palps 225. Chelicerae 153. Legs: I 342; II 330; III 370; IV 380. Length of setae: hg 1 15; hg 2 20; hg 3 20; hg 4 30; vi 195; sce 265; sci 22; c 1 20; c 2 17; d 1 20; e 1 16; f 1 38; h 1 38; h 2 12; g 1 - 4 12. Distance between setae sci - sci 46. Male and immature — unknown. Differential diagnosis — This new species closely resembles C. anomala Khaustov and Kuznetzov (1998) by the absence of setae ve, but differs from the latter species by possessing the following combination of characters: (1) the presence of a very short bulbous solenidion bbsl anterior to the trichobothrium on tibiae IV (absence of this seta in C. anomala); (2) proximal segment of chelicerae papillate, second segment has some denticles proximally and dorsolaterally and followed distally by some " furrow-like " lines in different lengths (only the proximal segment is papillate in C. anomala) (3) hypognathum with short transverse lines at its base (smooth in C. anomala) (4) the presence of an oval area of thin broken striae around setae sci (absence of this area on dorsal propodosomal in C. anomala) and (5) idiosomal length of C. celineae is 540 µm and about 1.5 times longer than that in C. anomala (363 µm). Etymology — The name of the species refers to the first name of author’s daughter, Celine Barbar, to whom this species is dedicated. Type material — Female holotype, Syria, Latakia Governorate, Al-Bahlouliyah, on M. sylvestris, 01 July 2012. (Coll. Barbar, Z.).	en	Barbar, Z.
