Virgo Blue Hole, Sweeting's Cay, Grand Bahama Island, Little Bahama Bank , Sta 01-015 : USNM 1021449 About USNM , 3 specimens in alcohol .

Distribution. Little Bahama Bank, Sweeting's Cay (Sagittarius Blue Hole and Virgo Blue Hole). Great Bahama Bank, Great Exuma Island (Basil Minn’s Blue Hole).

Supplementary description of adult female. Carapace Size (length, height in mm): USNM 1021442, 1.69, 1.23; USNM 1021443, 1.66, 1.22.; USNM 1021446, 1.68, 1.28; USNM 1022179, 1.68, 1.28; USNM 1021444, 1.70, 1.29.

Supplementary description of adult male ( Fig. 40 View FIGURE 40 ). Carapace similar in shape and ornamentation to that of holotype ( Fig. 40 a View FIGURE 40 ).

Mandible: 1st endopod segment with 6 bristles (1 anterior, 1 posterior, 4 medial).

Genitalia ( Fig. 40 b View FIGURE 40 ): Similar to that of holotype.

Remarks. Kornicker et al. (1990: 44) reported this species in Sagittarius Blue Hole from collections

made in 1984 and 1987. The present collections made in 1989 and 2001 from the same cave show that the species continued to live in the cave and was not affected by intervening climactic events. The present collection from Basil Minn’s Blue Hole, Great Exuma Island, is the first record of the species from the Great Bahama Bank. The species is reported for the first time in Virgo Blue Hole, Little Bahama Bank.
