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 .
