Distribution

Known from the Netherlands Antilles ( Curaçao and Aruba) and from the Venezuelan states Falcón and La Guaira (Fig. 1036).

Natural history

In the cave Cueva del Guano, the spiders were found in dead bromeliads on the ground that had fallen into the entrance area ( Anopsicus ana Huber sp. nov. was found under stones in the same place). Outside of the cave, C. caquetio shared the microhabitat (dead basal leaves of spiny ground-dwelling bromeliads) with Galapa spiniphila Huber sp. nov. and Modisimus culicinus (Simon, 1893) . In Catia La Mar, the species was found in dry leaf litter among cacti on a very arid hill between airport and sea (Fig. 1032), also in close proximity to Modisimus culicinus .
