Diagnosis. Based on the characteristics of the gonopod, this species differs from congeners by the structure of the apical processes on the telopodite. Posterior lamellar process shows three branches: one tooth-shaped and two hook-shaped, one of which is bifurcated. The anterior lamellar process is with a prominent and robust branch, while a slightly longer spinose process projects next to the solenomere. Unlike C. gervaisi , the species C. alatus , C. muisca sp. nov. and C. simplex sp. nov. lack a branch adjacent to the solenomere.

Distribution. Only known from Parque Arqueológico of San Agustín, Huila Department, Colombia ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 ).
