 Remarks. The new species is related to C. sculptaspinosa Gerken, 2012 from New Zealand, sharing two parallel sulci; it differs by: no large tubercles on frontal lobe vs. 1 pair in C. sculptaspinosa; maxilliped 2 with long propodus in C. matacheae sp. nov. vs. shorter propodus, long propodal seta vs. short seta in C. sculptaspinosa; short dactylus in C. matacheae vs. long dactylus; maxilliped 3 with robust articles vs. slender articles; pereopod 1 with more plumose and pappose setae; dactylus 4.2 propodus length vs. 3.5 in C. sculptaspinosa; uropodal peduncle with microserrate setae vs. simple setae, endopod with 4 setae medially in C. matacheae vs. 3 setae.   
 Distribution. Australia: WA—North West Shelf, at 42 m depth.
