Hello paqui,
I was interested to find these spines myself as I took pics of both male and female C. tibialis this year. I can see some faint, pale spines on the thorax of the male and it appears the female has some too but they don't show very well at some angles.
I was going to post my pics, but I searched the site and found some which show the spines well. I guess these are the 48 you have read about.
