Abstract

We report the second amphisbaenian remain (Squamata, Lepidosauria) from Cuba, recovered from Pleistocene-Holocene sediments in Geda Cavern, Guasasa mountain range, Viñales, Pinar del Río province. The remain consists in an almost complete vertebra, being identified into Amphisbaenia clade. Due to the lack of diagnostic characters we could not place it in a more precise taxonomic category. This fossil increase the Geda Cavern paleontological record, and also constitutes a rare record for the region.
