Species-specific notes: recently described; the names huangshanensis and dongyangjiangensis were recently synonymized under the name C. dongyangjiangensis on the basis that that name was described earlier, however, this was based on the online publication date, which was not valid because there was not Zoobank number to validate it, making the print publication date the valid date; thus, the name huangshanensis (published validly online on January 24, 2020) actually has priority over dongyangjiangensis (published in print January 30, 2020) and is used here
