This species was recently described from moss on sandy soil in Crimea ( Khaustov 2021).

This is the first record of C. quinqueocellata from Iran. Specimens from Iran agree well with the original description, especially in having unusual five pairs of ocelli on prodorsum, presence of dorsal idiosomal shield, and in having one pair of pseudanal setae.
