This species and C. padave^ists are closely related and very similar : it 

 differs from C. padavensis in the following particulars : — 



The rostrum is a little shorter and does not reach to the base of the 

 ophthalmic scales. 



The eyestalks are shorter and stouter, being only as long as the anterior 

 border of the carapace ; and the eyes are larger, occupying from one-seventh 

 to one-eighth of the length of the eyestalk. 



The hands are shorter and stouter, and usually they and the wrists are 

 rougher and more setose. 



The propodite of the 3rd left leg has the upper border of its outer surface 

 fairly well defined, and the dactylus of this pair of legs is a little shorter than 

 in C. padavensis.
