Holotype: SMF; male; Philippines, Leyte, Visca, North Baybay, primary forest, 200-500 m; leg. W. Schawaller et al., 22.02.1991.

Other material examined: SMF; 1 male collected together with the holotype. – SMF; 2 females; Philippines, Leyte, Lake Danao, forest edge, 500 m; leg. W. Schawaller et al., 19.02.1991.

Diagnosis: Similar to C. rugosus , distinguished from this and other known congeners by distinctive shape of E (broad, lateral projection just below curved, hook-like tip; Figs 65-66 View Figs 65 - 69 ), C (curved retrolateral margin, stout hooked tip; Figs 65-66 View Figs 65 - 69 ) and RTA (tip beak-shaped; Figs 66-67 View Figs 65 - 69 ). Females can be distinguished by the elongated/ oval spermathecae ( Figs 68-69 View Figs 65 - 69 ).

Etymology: Named after the collector.
