La familia Sesarmidae incluye un grupo de cangrejos con amplia distribucion ecologica, considerando que habitan el medio marino, dulceacuicola y terrestre. En Cuba, se encuentra representada por tres generos ( Aratus , Armases y Sesarma ) y siete especies. En el presente trabajo se realiza una revision del material de esta familia recolectado en la region oriental de Cuba. Se corrige la presencia de Armases angustipes , cuyo registro de Santiago de Cuba correspon- de con A. ricordi , asi como de Sesarma curacaoense , registrada en base a la incorrecta clasificacion de juveniles de Grapsus grapsus . Se presenta una clave para la identificacion de las especies de la fa- milia presentes en Cuba, la diagnosis de las categorias taxonomicas y las ilustraciones de las especies de la region oriental. Abstract: T h e family Sesarmidae includes a group of crabs with wide ecologic a l distribution, considering that they live in marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats. In Cuba, it is represented by three genera ( Aratus , Armases , and Sesarma ) and seven species. In this paper, a review of the material of this family collected in the eastern region of Cuba is provided. The presence of Armases angustipes is corrected, whose re- cord from Santiago de Cuba corresponds to A. ricordi , also Sesarma curacaoense , recorded in base the wrong classification of juveniles of Grapsus grapsus . A key to the identification of the species of the family occurring in Cuba, the diagnosis of the taxa, and illustrations of the species of the eastern region are presented.
