A new shallow-water species Lepidochitona cubensis sp. nov. collected in the Caribbean Sea off Cuba in sea grass Thalassia testudinum is described. This chiton is closest to the species L. bullocki with which it forms a separate group within the genus, differing from other species of the genus by the presence of small square grooves on tegmentum of valves.
