Title
A new species of the genus Upogebia Leach, 1802 (Crustacea, Decapoda, Upogebiidae) from the north coast of Cuba
Abstract
The marine and estuarine invertebrates of Cojímar Beach in East Havana, Northwest Coast of Cuba, have been monitored for more than 40 years, crustaceans being the focus of these activities. In a recent collection of crustacean samples, two upogebiid mud shrimp moults were obtained, preserved, and studied. Only Pomatogebia operculata (Schmitt, 1924) and Upogebia affinis (Say, 1818) were previously recorded in Cuban waters. The description of a new Upogebia is presented here. A table to differentiate the new species from U. jamaicensis Thistle, 1973 and U. toralae Williams & Hernández Aguilera (1998), the two closest species, is also provided.

Los invertebrados marinos y estuarinos de la Playa Cojímar en la costa este de La Habana, noroeste de Cuba, son monitoreados desde hace más de 40 años, siendo los crustáceos el foco de estas actividades. En una recolección reciente de muestras de crustáceos, se obtuvieron, preservaron y estudiaron dos mudas de camarones de barro o upogébidos. Sólo Pomatogebia operculata (Schmitt, 1924) y Upogebia affinis (Say, 1818) fueron registradas anteriormente en aguas cubanas. Aquí se presenta la descripción de una nueva Upogebia. También se proporciona una tabla para diferenciar la nueva especie de U. jamaicensis Thistle, 1973 y U. toralae Williams & Hernández Aguilera (1998), las dos especies más cercanas.
