We
describe a new species of Eulimnadia
from the Caribbean using fresh material from the island of St Thomas.
Originally reported in 2003 as a Eulimnadia
cf. texana (Packard, 1871)
based on egg morphology, this species egg distinctly differs from E. texana by the number of lateral
grooves and by the single domed end.
Key words: Spiny clam shrimp,
Diplostraca, Caribbean Islands.
