This species differs from C. luetkeni because of the greater inflation of the petal area and
rounded edges. Also, the test is more elongate. Test diameter is ~10.5 cm.
Note:
Beam trawls used in the Transect Program do not adequately
collect burrowing organisms,
so the distribution and abundance of this species is not well documented.
