Cerion paucisculptum is a species of terrestrial gastropod in the family Cerionidae, endemic to the Sama Bay area in Cuba. The type locality is Punta de Música, Samá Bay, and this species may already be extinct as it was last collected when the Samá Bay area was less disturbed and the distribution of endemic cerionids was more contiguous. however, C. banesense is also found in the Arroyo Seco, Río Seco, and Ensenada de Río Seco areas which are within the immediate vicinity of the type locality- Cerion paucisculptum may still occur alongside Cerion banesense.
Cerion hessei is a species of terrestrial gastropod in the family Cerionidae endemic to coastal areas near Balcón de Damas in Guardalavaca beach area. Individuals from the type locality showed great variation in size, some individuals being among the smallest recorded in the genus. They are found only among coastal dwarf sea grape trees and in dry foliage in dunes. Some other nearby keys also possess dwarf Cerion species, however the reason is yet unknown.
