(30) F: 1,38-0,97; M: 1,15-0,97; (145) F: 1,38; M: 1,2; (340) F: 1,55; (787) F: 1,65-0,95; M: 1,092-1,0; (1225) F: 1,31; M: 1,10; {F: 0,95-1,65; M: 0,97-1,20}

The mean female size is 1.313 mm (n = 6; SD = 0.2926) and the mean male size is 1.103 mm (n = 4; SD = 0.0990). The size ratio (male : female) is about 0.87.
Rem.: epipelagic; sampling depth ( off Malta): 2000 m.
For Frost & Fleminger (1968, p.76) females are distingued from C. furcatus by the Prosome/Urosome and Urosome/Urosomal segment 1 length ratios, the relative lengths of Urosomal segments 1 and 3, and the appearance of the seminal receptacle in lateral view. Males differ from C. furcatus in the shape of the rostrum and the 3rd segment/ 2nd segment length ratio of P5. Males are distinguished with difficulty from C. mastigophorus and C. ingens; mastigophorus differs from parapergens in the Prosome/Urosomal segment 2 length ratio, while ingens differs only in the length-width ratio of the left segment 2 of P5. C. parapergens males are distinguished from lividus by the Urosomal segment 2/ 2nd segment of P5. Males of C. parapergens and laticeps differ in the form obf basipodal segment 2 spiniform processes 2 and 3 of P3.
