Remarks

For Bradford (1978, p.138) this species is most closely related to C. tenuis Giesbrecht, 1891 and C. lubbocki Giesbrecht, 1891.
For Boxshall & Halsey (2004, p.491) the subgenus (Dahl, 1912) is considered as full generic status pending phylogenetic revision of the whole family at the generic level.
