TYPES: Male holotype and female allotype taken at an elevation of 550 m at km. 7.5 on road to La Gran Piedra , Santiago de Cuba Municipality, 20°00′23″N, 75°40′31″W, Santiago de Cuba, Cuba (May 8, 2010; N. Platnick, A. Sánchez, A. Pérez, G. Alayón), deposited in BSC GoogleMaps .
ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality.
DIAGNOSIS: Males resemble those of C. alayoni but have a longer subdistal process that is almost as long as the embolus tip itself (figs. 187, 188); females also resemble those of C. alayoni but have a thinner anterior margin on the receptaculum that is weaker anteriorly than laterally (figs. 194, 195).
MALE: Total length 2.68 (figs. 180–188). Carapace pale yellow, with dark purple margins separated from paramedian reticulations by distinct submarginal unmarked bands, reticulations on each side separated by median, longitudinal unmarked band occupying pars cephalica only. Sternum orange, with submarginal dark markings occupying anterior one-fifth of sternal surface. Abdominal dorsum almost entirely purple, with only four tiny, pale chevrons. Sides of femora, tibiae, and metatarsi darkened. Embolus long, narrow, subdistal process situated far from tip but extending almost as far distally as tip (figs. 187, 188).
FEMALE: Total length 3.16 (figs. 189–195). Coloration as in male except anterior margin of sternum with greatly darkened spots opposite endites. Receptaculum forming broad triangle, sclerotized anterior margin thinner across median third than on sides (figs. 194, 195).
OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED: None.
