Remarks: Schultze in his early work reported, that several specimens of the species have been found of Biliran Island near Leyte . After examination of species material from Leyte Island available at MTD we concluded, that upper mentioned individuals belong to other species: C. leytensis Leitāne & Rukmane-Bārbale, 2020 . Species is closely related to C. leytensis distributed at Leyte island and C. mundocostata from Samar Island. Most uncertain method to distinguish species is compare shape of everted aedeagus , that is species specific.
