Etymology: The specific epithet is the comparative of the Latin adjective latum (broad, wide) and alludes to the broad ventral process of the aedeagus, one of the characters distinguishing this species from other representatives of the C. sinuosum group.

Description: Body length 1.0 mm; width of pronotum 0.36 mm; width of elytra 0.40 mm; length of antenna 0.45 mm. Other external characters as in C. sinuosum , C. hamulatum , and C. selenanum .

♂: aedeagus 0.30 mm long; ventral process somewhat resembling a house in cross-section in ventral view; internal sac with sclerotized spines of distinctive shapes ( Figs 125–126 View Figs 114–126 ).

Comparative notes: This species is distinguished from C. hamulatum , C. sinuosum , and C. curvatum by longer antennae and the shape and internal structures of the aedeagus.

Distribution and natural history: The type locality ( Fig. 175 View Figs 174–175 ) is identical to that of C. idanum and Cretotyphlus idanus .
