Additionally, the hermit crabs belonging to the genus Paguristes collected during different surveys of the "Instituto de Oceanología de Cuba" on the Cuban coast have been listed. A new species of hermit crab, Paguristes hologuinensis sp. nov., is described and remarks on a new record, Paguristes paraguanensis MacLaughlin and Provenzano, 1974, are given.
