Cynortoides quadrispinosa
Cynortoides quadrispinosa is a species of harvestman (Opiliones: Cosmetidae) described by Goodnight & Goodnight in 1942. It belongs to the family Cosmetidae, a diverse group of neotropical harvestmen characterized by often ornate body armature. The specific epithet 'quadrispinosa' suggests the presence of four spines, likely on the dorsal scutum or abdomen. The species has been documented in citizen science observations, indicating it is not exceptionally rare in suitable habitat.
