DISTRIBUTION. — Marquesas Islands , live in 220-416 m, and New Caledonia and Norfolk Ridge, empty shells in 408-444 m.

REMARKS. — Planktotrophic development was assumed based on traces of the protoconch of one paratype ( Oliverio 2008). It is similar to C. fritschi (Martens, 1874) in the pattern of teleoconch sculpture and the general shell outline, but differs in its less slender outline, in having coarser sculpture and a less constricted base. From C. roseocephala Kosuge, 1986 , it differs in its less slender spire with more convex whorls. From C. nivea (A. Adams, 1853) it differs in its coarser spiral sculpture of more closely set cords and its less slender spire with a more pronounced shoulder and incised suture.
