A First Record of the Potentially Invasive Gnaphosoid spider Cithaeron praedonius in The Bahamas

Globalization, particularly through the use of shipping containers, yachts, and other transport vessels, has accelerated the spread of non-native fauna worldwide. Here, I report the occurrence of the non-native Cosmopolitan Spider Hunter, Cithaeron praedonius, from New Providence, Bahamas.
