TYPES: Male holotype and female allotype from South Bimini, Bahama Islands (May 1951; W. Gertsch, M. Cazier), deposited in AMNH .
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
DIAGNOSIS: This species seems closest to C. ludovicorum but can be distinguished by the very different color pattern on the carapace (figs. 19, 28) as well as the much more elaborate embolus tip of males (fig. 25) and the medially shorter genitalic receptaculum of females (fig. 32).
MALE: Total length 2.29 (figs. 17–25). Carapace pale yellow, with dark purple margins and median reticulations, those reticulations darkest opposite coxa II. Sternum pale orange, with darker, rebordered margins. Dorsum of abdomen light purple with four white chevrons. Legs pale yellow, with darkened sides on distal halves of all femora and tibiae. Tip of embolus with long extension on dorsal surface, followed ventrally by one long and three short prongs (fig. 25).
FEMALE: Total length 3.59 (figs. 26–32). Coloration as in male except sternum with dark patches opposite coxae I and II, abdominal chevrons smaller. Genitalia with relatively short, broadly triangular receptaculum (figs. 31, 32).
