Remarks

Male known but male genitalia unknown. Described from a single male specimen ( Risbec 1950: 552‒553). Trietsch et al. (2019: 22, fig. 11) show an image of the holotype. The male genitalia have not been dissected but Trietsch et al. (2019) mentioned that, based on the partially exserted genitalia, “…the specimen appears to have harpes that are pointed and longer than the gonostipes, with distal tufts of setae”. This information suggests a similarity with, for example, C. semira sp. nov. or C. longiharpis sp. nov., but does not allow an exact species delimitation.
