Description Carapace convex, trapezoid in outline. Dorsal and ventral margins slightly arched outwards. Anterior margin beset, along its inferior half, with long, blunt teeth. Posterior margin armed with two or three strong teeth and several smaller ones. Dorsal aspect oval, with several projecting spines towards the extremities. Surface covered with a network of sharply defined ribs, crossing each other nearly or quite at right angles, but becoming less distinctly angular towards the edges of the valves. A sharp keel, bearing posteriorly a single strong spine, runs along the lower border, and mostly bifurcates on the ventral aspect, the upper branch being continued along the posterior border of the valve to the dorsal margin, thus bounding the reticulated portion of the shell.

Description Carapace convex, trapezoid in outline. Dorsal and ventral margins slightly arched outwards. Anterior margin beset, along its inferior half, with long, blunt teeth. Posterior margin armed with two or three strong teeth and several smaller ones. Dorsal aspect oval, with several projecting spines towards the extremities. Surface covered with a network of sharply defined ribs, crossing each other nearly or quite at right angles, but becoming less distinctly angular towards the edges of the valves. A sharp keel, bearing posteriorly a single strong spine, runs along the lower border, and mostly bifurcates on the ventral aspect, the upper branch being continued along the posterior border of the valve to the dorsal margin, thus bounding the reticulated portion of the shell. [details]Diagnosis The only described species which bears any close resemblance to the present is C. arachnoidea. Bosquet. It differs from C. normani in outline, also in having a row of conspicuous tubercles along the ventral margin, in place of the simple ridge which characterizes the present species. C. arachnoidea bears also small tubercles at the points of intersection of the surface network, and another row of them just within the finely serrated anterior border. I have inscribed this species to my friend the Rev. A. M. Norman, whose numerous contributions to carcinology and other branches of science are widely known, and to whom I am indebted for much valuable help in the study of natural history. [details] Identification The record of Bradleya normani from the Souther Ocean by Ayress et al (2004) is a missidentification. Ayress et al.'s specimens belong to Bradleya mesembrina Mazzini, 2005.
