Female (from Arctic basin)): 12, Mx2.

Nota: Mx2 and the segmentation and spinulation of the swimming legs is most nearly that of C. abyssalis Brodsky which has been reported only from the North Pacific. The P1 have 1-segmented rami; P2 have 3-segmented exopods (division between 1 and 2 incomplete) and 1-segmented endopods. There is a normal external spine on the 1st exopod segment of each leg. P3 and P4 are similar to P2 but show slight marginal indentations on the endopod suggesting segmentation, and P4 are somewhat elongated. The species might almost as readily be considered described by Brodsky from the Polar Basin, but for the fact that the species is described as having no external spine on the 1st exopodal segments of the P2 and P3. This might be a variable character. One specimen was found in which this spine on P2 was about 1/4 normal size on one side and on the opposite leg it was either absent or lost. P3 had normal spines on all segments, but the terminal segment of P4 had only 2 external spines on one leg whereas the opposite leg had the normal 3.
