For Frost & Fleminger (1968, p.58) C. jobei is distinct from all other Clausocalanus species except farrani in having a ventral protuberance on the female genital segment anterior to the genital pores. C. jobei and farrani females differ in the form of the rostrum in lateral view. C. jobei differs from minor in the form of the P5, and from paululus in body length, in the form and spacing of basipodite 2 spiniform processes 2 and 3 of P3, in the nature of the attachment of the spermatophore. Males of C. jobei are distinguished from males of farrani and minor by the ratio of the left 2nd segment of P5 length to the urosomal segment 2 and the armature of the distal segment of P5. C. jobei and paululus differ in body length, in the urosomal segment 2/2nd segment of P5, and 3rd segment/2nd segment of P5 length ratios, and in the form of basipodite 2 spiniform processes 2 and 3 of P3.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 7 corresponding to small filter feeding herbivorous.
