Abstract

A brief history review regarding the previous research on the study of the Cuban cumacean is presented. The diagnostic characters to recognize the four families recorded in Cuba: Bodotriidae (Cyclaspis and Vaunthompsonia); Diastylidae (Leptostylis and Oxyurostylis); Leuconidae (Leucon) and Nannastacidae (Campylaspis, Cubanocuma, Cumella and Elassocumella), are given. A total of 27 species recorded for the country can be classified by using the given dichotomy keys. The diagnosis for each family and genus, as well as a figure for each species, are also pointed out.
