 Etymology. The species dedicated to the memory of my beloved friend Mihai Pană (1958–2005), as a sign of eternal love and friendship.   
 Diagnosis. Carapace 0.45 body length, longitudinal rows of tubercles, dorsolateral row with larger tubercles from basis of frontal lobe towards posterior end; maxilliped 2 propodus with 1 tooth; maxilliped 3 propodus 1.5 carpus length; pereopod 2 dactylus 2.9 propodus length, with digitiform tip; uropodal peduncle 2.3 pleonite 6 length, 2.4 rami length: exopod 1.05 endopod length; endopod with 3 setae medially.   
 Description. Carapace 0.45 body length, 1.5 longer than high, with longitudinal rows of tubercles, dorsal row with larger tubercles from basis of frontal lobe towards posterior end; short ocular lobe without visual elements; pseudorostrum 0.23 carapace length, little upturned, with 3 pairs of robust terminal setae, little exceeding ocular lobe; anterolateral margin with short serration; antennal notch, present (Fig. 28 A, B). — Antenna 1 peduncle article 1 0.75 rest of article’s length; article 2 1.2 article 3; main flagellum with 3 articles, 1.3 distal article of peduncle length; accessory flagellum, minute, with 1 article; aesthetascs as long as main flagellum (Fig. 28 C). — Maxilliped 2 basis fused with ischium, with a plumose seta; merus with 1 plumose seta; carpus 1.05 merus length, with 1 tooth; propodus 1.4 carpus length, with 1 tooth and 1 robust seta little longer than tridentate dactylus (Fig. 28 D). — Maxilliped 3 basis 1.06 rest of article’s length, 1 simple and 2 plumose setae; ischium with 1 simple seta; merus to propodus with serrate margins, merus 4.2 ischium length, with 1 plumose and 4 simple setae; carpus 0.26 merus length, with 3 plumose setae; propodus 1.5 carpus length, with 1 plumose and 2 pappose setae; dactylus 0.5 propodus length with 4 simple setae; with exopod (Fig. 28 E). — Pereopod 1 0.4 entire pereopod length, with 3 simple and 2 plumose setae; ischium with 1 plumose seta; merus, 3.8 carpus length, with 6 plumose setae; carpus 0.7 merus length, with 1 simple and 5 plumose setae; propodus 0.9 carpus length, with 1 plumose and 5 simple setae; dactylus 0.4 propodus length, with 5 simple setae; with exopod (Fig. 28 F). — Pereopod 2 basis 0.34 pereopod entire length, with 1 pappose seta; merus 10 ischium length, with 1 plumose and 2 simple setae; carpus 1.33 merus length, with 4 simple setae; dactylus 2.9 propodus length, with digitiform tip and 11 simple setae; with exopod (Fig. 28 G). — Pereopods 3–5 with decreasing basis and increasing carpus length, with simple, plumose and annulate setae; dactylus with short terminal simple seta (Fig. 34 H–J),. — Uropod peduncle 2.3 pleonite 6 length, 2.4 rami length, serrate margins, 4 simple setae medially; exopod 1.05 endopod length, with 3 simple setae; endopod with 4 microserrate setae (Fig. 28 K).   
 Remarks. The new species is related to C. oanalexandru sp. nov. having no lateral sulcus, ocular lobe without lenses and pereopod 2 dactylus with digitiform tip. It differs with: carapace with tubercles vs. none in C. oanalexandru; maxilliped 3 with larger merus; pereopods, more setose; uropod with longer peduncle and shorter rami in C. panai.   
 Distribution. Australia: NSW—northeast of Twofold Bay, at 960–1050 m depth.
