It is known from only three specimens. Of these, the holotype is the largest, at 33.8 mm mantle length (ML). C. tongaensis is characterised by several distinct morphological features: the mantle is free from the head in the nuchal region, a large, circular visceral photophore and ventral shield are present on the ventral surface of the ink sac, and the broad keel extends the full length of the club.[1] The holotype (MNHN 3820), a female with missing tentacles, was collected in the N Ha’apai group of the Tonga Islands ({{coord|19|42|S|174|26|W|scale:250000}}) at a depth of 332 m. Paratype 1, a male known from only the head and brachial crown, came from the same station. Paratype 2 (MNHN 3822), also a female with missing tentacles, was collected from a seamount in the Tonga Islands ({{coord|22|11|S|175|27|W|scale:250000}}) at a depth of 385–405 m.[1] References1. ^1 Lu, C.C. & R.
