            <p> Remarks. A morphological comparison between  C. chazaroi sp. nov. , and other species of  Coboldus shows difference in the following characteristics: mandibular palp article 2 with one subapical plumose seta in  C. chazaroi , instead of two simple setae in  C. laetifucatus , and three in  C. hedgpethi ,  C. nitior and  C. orientalis . Dactylus of gnathopod 2 longer than palm in  C. chazaroi , instead of dactylus as long as palm like others. Posterior margin of article 2 on pereopods 6–7 with six–seven setae in  C. chazaroi , instead of finely serrated in  C. hedgpethi and two–four notches, each with one simple seta in  C. laetifucatus . Posterior margin of epimerum 3 with two big and a small tooth in  C. chazaroi , instead of two large teeth in  C. hedgpethi ,  C. laetifucatus and  C. orientalis . Coxa 1 acute and bifid in  C. chazaroi instead of rounded and entire like others. Pleonal segment 1–3 dorsal processs equals in  C. chazaroi instead of pleonal segment 1 bigger than those on 2 and 3, in  C. orientalis . </p>
            <p> The type locality of  C. chazaroi sp. nov. , is Northwestern Cuba;  C. laetifucatus is from Barbados, the Caribbean Sea;  C. hedgpethi is from California;  C. nitior is from the Mediterranean Sea, and  C. orientalis is from Chigua Reef, Nansha Islands, China Sea. </p>
