Tres nuevos registros de Porcellanidae (Decapoda, Anomura) para Cuba orientalAbstract
The diversity of marine crabs (Anomura and Brachyura) of Cuba is well known. However, the poorly-known species distribution represents a challenge for conservation. The Cu- ban porcellanid crabs have been recently checked, however, the knowledge of this group remains underestimated. In this work, three species of porcellanid crabs, Petrolisthes galathinus, P. jugosus, and P. tonsorius are recorded to Eastern Cuba. Furthermore, the distribution of P. quadratus in this area is revised because several specimens were mixed with P. tonsorius. With these new records, 12 porcellanid species are registered for this region.La diversidad de cangrejos marinos (Anomura y Brachyura) de Cuba es bien conocida.
