Nota: 4th and 5th metasomal somites fued. A1 24-segmented, reaching middle of urosomite 2. Md blade with 1 sharp tooth and 1 basal process tricuspidate apically, middle cusp being largest. In dorsal view urosomite 1 slightly asymmetrical, broader distally, in lateralview with 1 small ventral knob-like protrusion
Plate 2 issued from : Mulyadi in Treubia, 1997, 31 (2). [p.74, Fig.2].

Remarks

Sampling depth: 200-0 m in night time.
For Mulyadi (1997, p.76) this species forms a species-group ("norvegica-group" with C. kechumi and C. norvegica. The species is more closely related to C. kechumi, collected from the Sargasso Sea than C. norvegica.
