Abstract
A new species of amphipod crustacean of the genus Photis collected at the North Eastern waters of the Cuban Archipelago is described. The main differences among this new species and those two most similar recorded in the area (Photis sp. F. LeCroy, 2000 and P. sarae Souza-Filho y Serejo, 2010) are presented. This is the third species of Photis recorded for Cuban waters.
