Oscar Paulino Arredondo de la Mata was a Cuban paleontologist. He described a number of birds and mammals of the Quaternary Period from fossils obtained from Cuban caves. He has been called the "father of Cuban vertebrate paleontology".
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.
Cerion alberti is a species of terrestrial gastropod in the family Cerionidae. It is endemic to coastal vegetation in the Ramón de Antilla Peninsula, Cuba. C. alberti is the most restricted species of Cerion in the Holguin Province, occurring within only 1 km2 of sea grapes and coastal vegetation. Historical collections have reported a Cañón de Banes locality, in which several species including C. alberti occur.
Cerion saetiae is a species of terrestrial gastropod in the family Cerionidae endemic to coastal areas on Saetia Key, Cuba. The type locality harbours few specimens, yet new locality records have found more remains despite a concerning decline in live individuals. This species is found in coastal sea-grape and sand-vegetation habitats on Playita de Fidel, Playa del Cristo and Baracutey Beach.
Cerion prestoni is a species of terrestrial gastropod in the family Cerionidae, endemic to Preston by Nipe Bay, Cuba. This species is morphologically similar to other cerionids in the 'scalarinum complex', however it differs from most species in having thick, striated ribs. This species complex represents an interesting divergence in Cuban cerionid forms, possessing several unique features.
Cerion geophilum is a species of terrestrial gastropod in the family Cerionidae, endemic to Morales Beach, Cuba.
Cerion disforme is a species of terrestrial gastropod in the family Cerionidae, endemic to beaches in Holguín Province, Cuba. The nominal subspecies of C. disforme is endemic to various parapatric microhabitats associated with karst rocks and xerophytic palms and evergreen forest. C. disforme nodali however occurs in small dunes littered with rocky substrates, and also shares the evergreen forest ecotone with the nominal subspecies, in which it is found on leaves and branches. Despite sharing ecotones and various habits, there has been a significant divergence and speciation among the Holguín cerionids- within the vicinity of Morales Beach and Punta Manolito in the Ramón de Antillo Peninsula there is one of the greatest concentrations of Cerion diversity in the Caribbean.
