In this article, we obtain two new characterizations of circular‐arc bigraphs. One of them is the representation of a circular‐arc bigraph in terms of two two‐clique circular‐arc graphs while another one represents the same as a union of an interval bigraph and a Ferrers bigraph. Finally, we introduce the notions of proper and unit circular‐arc bigraphs, characterize them and show that, as in the case of circular‐arc graphs, unit circular‐arc bigraphs form a proper subclass of the class of proper circular‐arc bigraphs.
