A small, golden, slender jumping spider found along waterways and in rainforest in Fiji, the Cocos Islands, and now Townsville. This is a unident spider, having a single, prominent, curved tooth on the inside or retromargin of the chelicerae. It is similar to C. hortoni, but the size is much smaller, the chelicerae shorter, and the longer embolus of the male palp, which arises about 5 o'clock from the bulb. ♀ 5.5 mm ♂ 4.5mm
