For Frost & Fleminger (1968, p.70) it is likely that C. pergens, brevipes, and parapergens have been confused in the past. The authors have omitted from the synonymy and geographical records of pergens if adequate descriptive details do not accompany the records. Females of C. pergens are distinguished from brevipes by the body length, the length ratio of A1 segment 2 to 24, the exopodal segment 3/ terminal seta length ratio of P3 and P4, and usually the appearance of the seminal receptacle and thoracic segment IV-V posterior margin, both in lateral view. C. pergens and C. parapergens differ in all of the above characters but body lengt; they also differ in the Prosome/Urosome length ratio and do not appear to overlap in body length at localities where they occur together. C. pergens and furcatus are distinguished from each other by the relative lengths of urosomal segments 1 and 3, the length-width ratio of the caudal ramus, and the shape of the seminal receptacle in lateral view. C. pergensbrevipes in the length of the left P5 relative to the Urosome. C. pergens and parapergens differ in the segment 3/segment 2 of P5 length ratio. C. pergens is distinguished from furcatus by the shape of the rostrum.
Certain localisations are to be confirmed.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 5 corresponding to small sac-spawning detritivorous.
