DISTRIBUTION. Only known from the type locality: Caja de Muertos Island. This species was described on the basis of a single adult male, which is the only known specimen. Its description is very inadequate and efforts for rediscovering it have been unproductive, because all the collected specimens were C. griseus ( Armas, 2010; Teruel et al., 2015). In a very recent paper on Caribbean arthropod biogeography, Crew & Esposito (2020: fig. 11) included this dubious species in their analyses, but likely they were in error. Its taxonomical status is pendant of confirmation ( Teruel et al., 2015: 12; but also see Armas, 2010: 62).
