Members of Crinopseudoa are easily recognized from Pseudocorinna by the diffuse pattern of small warts on the carapace only (vs. on all sclerotized parts of the body), by the smooth sternum that is as long as wide (vs. wider than long), by the presence of two ventral spine pairs on Mt IV, by the small, subtriangular MA of the male palp that is fused to the tegulum, and by the posterior, lobate ducts of the vulva (from Jocqué &amp; Bosselaers 2011).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FF879C8C73FFECFF7BFB48FF59C5E4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

R. Jocqué (RMCA _ 151783).</p><p>Diagnosis. Crinopseudoa elisabethae sp. nov. is easily separated from congeners by a combination of the small, very broad (i.e. nearly as broad as long), medially directed RTA, very short embolus, and proximal part of the tegulum that does not project ventrad (Figs 1B–E).</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet is a genitive matronym in honour of Elisabeth Tybaert, who operated pitfall traps in Kossou (Central Ivory Coast) in 1974 and 1975, representing one of the first pitfall campaigns in a tropical forest.</p><p>Description. Male (holotype; RMCA_151783) TL 4.44, CL 1.88, CW 1.76, SL &amp; SW not taken due to brittle holotype, AL 2.56, AW 1.48.

Females of the new species are distinguished from congeners by the posterior margin with a small, triangular, posteriorly projected lip without a concavity (vs. broad-lipped margin with a large central concavity) and the ST about twice as wide as long (Fig. 3C, D; vs. roughly as wide as long, Jocqué &amp; Bosselaers 2011, figs 48E, 59A).</p><p>Etymology.
