The species is no longer present anywhere in the Cape Verde islands. It has since been described as a new species, differentiated from C. sulcata by its smaller size and lesser robusticity.[1] It does not seem there is any evidence this species came into contact with humans.[3] References1. ^1 López-Jurad o, L.F., Mateo, J.A., and García-Márqu ez, M. 1998.
