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.
