For Andronov (1973, p.1410) this species is most closely related to C. gracilis Tanaka, 1956, C. elegans Shmeleva, 1965, and C. elongatusShmeleva, 1968, and differs from them in the form and relative size of spermathecae and P5, presence of 2 segmented endopodites P2 and P3 and abdomen 3-segmented.
