Original description Brusina (1894) characterized his new species as "presenting the appearance of a Lithodomus," but he did not give further description. According to Botka et al. (2019), his remark can be considered a valid diagnosis because C. dactylus is the only dreissenid that resembles the marine mytilid boring bivalve "Lithodomus" (Lithophaga). [details]
Type locality Between Balatonkenese and Siófok, Hungary [details]
