Remarks: Bamber (2002) has recently re­analyzed the distinctions between this Indo­ Pacific and North­east Atlantic species, C. macerrima Wilson, 1881 and C. gardineri Carpenter, 1907 . C. minor is distinguished from the other two species in having a long, tapering, upturning proboscis, a 5th palp article (P5) more than 1.9 times the length of P3, and P10 more than 1.7 times P9.
