Holotype : male (IZCAS-Ar 21428), Huangdi Cave ( 18°57.720′N , 109°8.373′E ), Dongfang , Hainan , China , 20 March 2005 , Y. Song , X. Han , Y. Tong and G. Deng leg. Paratypes : 3 males (IZCAS-Ar 21429–21430, 21439) and 4 females (IZCAS-Ar 21443–21445, 21448), same data as holotype ; 3 females (IZCAS-Ar 21474–21476), Baoyao Cave ( 19°6.092′N , 109°1.208′E ), Qicha Town , Changjiang County , Hainan , China , 2–3 April 2005 , collector same as holotype . Diagnosis. This species can be easily distinguished from C. dao sp. nov. by procursus with short, pointed prolatero-subdistal apophysis (arrow in Fig. 2C ; elongated prolatero-subdistal apophysis in C. dao sp. nov. , arrow 1 in Fig. 4C ) and pointed dorsal apophysis (arrow in Fig. 2D ; absent in C. dao sp. nov. , Fig. 4D ), by procursus not protruding dorso-distally ( Fig. 2C ; strongly protruding in C. dao sp. nov. , arrow 2 in Fig. 4C ), by male chelicerae pointed proximally (arrow in Fig. 3C ; blunt in C. dao sp. nov. , arrow in Fig. 5E ), without frontal apophyses (present in C. dao sp. nov. , fa in Fig. 5E ) and distal apophyses short cone-shaped (da in Fig. 3C ; distal apophyses with sclerotized cones, serrated in lateral view in C. dao sp. nov. , da in Fig. 5E ), and by external female genitalia with small median apophysis (ma in Fig. 3A ; median apophysis large, proximally wide and distally sharply narrow in C. dao sp. nov. , ma in Figs 5A–C ). Distribution. China ( Hainan , type locality; Fig. 1 ).
