In this paper, four new discreteness criteria for isometric groups on complex hyperbolic spaces are proved, one of which shows that the Condition C hypothesis in Cao [‘Discrete and dense subgroups acting on complex hyperbolic space’, Bull. Aust. Math. Soc.78 (2008), 211–224, Theorem 1.4] is removable; another shows that the parabolic condition hypothesis in Li and Wang [‘Discreteness criteria for Möbius groups acting on II’, Bull. Aust. Math. Soc.80 (2009), 275–290, Theorem 3.1] is not necessary.
