Diagnosis. Resembles C. logunovi sp. nov. and C. marusiki sp. nov. in body pattern and copulatory organs, but males can be distinguished from them by the obviously large and backswept apical extension of embolus (aE), forming a bowl-like structure; the rather shallow and indistinct groove around aE; the back embolic keel (bK) only extending to median part of embolus; the tubular distal half of embolus, without any additional structure (Figs 60–62); the fan-shaped distal part of retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA) in retrolateral view (Figs 23–24); whereas in C. logunovi sp. nov. and C. marusiki sp. nov., the aE is relatively small and straight, with a rather deep groove around (Figs 63–69); the distal part of retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA) is finger-like in retrolateral view (Figs 38, 57); the bK is absent in C. logunovi sp. nov. and extends to apical embolus in C. marusiki sp. nov. (Fig. 64); the distal half of embolus has a retrolateral hump in C. logunovi sp. nov. and is concave on the back side in C. marusiki sp. nov. (Figs 66–68); females can be distinguished by their relatively long copulatory ducts, as long as the diameter of the spermathecae (Fig. 28).
Description. See Prószyński & Deeleman-Reinhold (2012).
Variation. In males, the tegular lobe can be tail-like (Figs 21, 25) or hook-like (Fig. 22) among different individuals; the dorsal margin of RTA also shows variation in retrolateral view (Figs 23–24).
Natural history. Foliage dwellers.
Distribution. Indonesia (Sumatra), Malaysia (Peninsula), Singapore.
