Remarks. Cubanocuma gutzui was first described from Cuba, 3 m depth, in muddy sand with Thalassia seagrass (Băcescu & Muradian, 1977a); also reported from Bermuda by Markham & Sterrer (1986), Petrescu & Sterrer (2001), from Jamaica (Petrescu et al., 1993), Bahamas (Petrescu, 1996, 2003) and Honduras (Petrescu, 2003). Cubanocuma gutzui was found in Guana (British Virgin Islands), Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, southeast Florida and the Gulf of Mexico (Heard et al., 2006).

The present record is the first report of this species from Puerto Rico.
