Cerion saetiae is a species of terrestrial gastropod in the family Cerionidae [1] endemic to coastal areas on Saetia Key, Cuba. The type locality harbours a 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. [2]
