Description
Many species are strikingly colored, but like most theridiids, the coloration is variable. C. compressa has a striking black sternum and abdomen, but the venter of Brazilian species is black, while those of Peru are yellow. C. venusta has been observed to rapidly change its color when disturbed.
Females are about 9 millimetres (0.35 in) long, and have blade-like hairs on the tip of the abdomen.
