Material examined. CHINA: Hainan Province: 10 ♂, 4 ♀ (MHBU-ARA-00026358, 26446–26447, 26543, 26545, 26954), Sanya City, Yazhou District, Moon Island , 18.3510°N, 109.1191°E, 5 m a.s.l., 5 June 2023, W. Wang, L. Hao, & Z. Yang leg. ; 4 ♂ (MHBU-ZZS-0696), with same data as for preceding specimens, 20 April 2020, B. Cai leg.

Diagnosis. The species exhibits body markings similar to C. baehrae Żabka & Waldock, 2012 , but can be distinguished by the longer embolus ( Figs 20 , 28 ; vs. shorter in C. baehrae , see Żabka & Waldock 2012: 169, 170, figs 32F, 33A–C); the fertilization ducts located posterior to CO ( Figs 24–27 , 30 ; vs. anterior to CO in C. baehrae , see Żabka & Waldock 2012: 172, figs 35 B, D, F); the elongated and tubular spermathecae ( Figs 24–27 , 30 ; vs. oval in C. baehrae , see Żabka & Waldock 2012: 172, figs 35 B, D, F).

Description. See Żabka & Waldock (2012: 129, 130).

Variations. The location of the spermathecae varies between specimens ( Figs 24–26 ). The accessory glands of some specimens are clearly visible as rounded humps in dorsal view ( Fig. 25 ), whereas in others they are only residual ( Figs 24, 26 ).

Natural history. Bush dwellers ( Figs 2–3 ).

Distribution. China (Hainan) ( Fig. 1 ), Indonesia (Celebes, Java, Krakatau, and Sumatra Islands).
