Rem.: La révision du genre par Huys & Conroy-Dalton (2000) introduit un doute sérieux sur la plupart des références données, comme pour les localisations.
La présence de cette espèce en Atlantique et en Méditerranée nécessite confirmation du fait d'une confusion avec C. gracilis .
Récemment, Fazeli & al., 2010 (p.153, Table 1) signalent cette espèce dans la Baie de Chahar (Mer d'Oman) sans référence pour leur identification aux auteurs précédemment cités. Comme trop souvent, les ouvrages faunistiques utilisés sont insuffisamment cités dans les références. De même dans la publication de Chaouadi & Hafferssas ( 2018 (p.913, Table II) qui signale cette espèce sur la côte algérienne (Sidi Fredj près d'Alger).
