A recently described species, only known from the type series from the Scotia Sea, South Sandwich Islands; benthic, 475–589 m (Thatje 2003). The material from South Georgia photographed in Anosov (2012: pl. 14) does not show a subdistal tooth on the fourth pleon nor a ventral rostral blade with inter-tooth pilosity and likely refers to C. capensis instead of this species.
