New records of the invasive marine crab Charybdis hellerii (Crustacea, Brachyura) in Cuba
The brachyuran crab Charybdis hellerii is originally from the Pacific; nevertheless, the spe- cies has been introduced to tropical waters globally. Its initial sighting in the Western Atlan- tic was documented in 1990 based on specimens collected in Cuba in 1987. In this paper, we present findings of C. hellerii from two localities in eastern Cuba: Santiago de Cuba and Taco bays. Up to this point, the species has solely been documented in estuaries in Cuba, and it likely exists throughout the entire archipelago. Given its feeding behaviour and extensive distribution, encompassing areas within the National Park Alejandro de Humboldt, this species can be key in the formulation of conservation plans for Cuban marine ecosystems.

El cangrejo braquiuro Charybdis hellerii es originario del Pacífico; sin embargo, la espe- cie ha sido introducida en aguas tropicales a nivel mundial. Su primera aparición en el Atlántico Occidental se registró en 1990 en base a especímenes recolectados en Cuba en 1987. En este artículo, presentamos los hallazgos de C. hellerii en dos localidades en Cuba oriental: las bahías de Santiago de Cuba y Taco. Hasta el momento, la especie solo ha sido registrada en estuarios en Cuba y es probable que esté presente en todo el archipiélago. Dada su conducta alimentaria y su amplia distribución, que incluye áreas dentro del Par- que Nacional Alejandro de Humboldt, esta especie puede ser clave en la formulación de planes de conservación para los ecosistemas marinos cubanos.
