Abstract
⺠mtDNA phylogeny of the Cuban cave fishes (Lucifuga) revealed three main clades. ⺠Nuclear and morphological characters support these clades. ⺠Five putative new cryptic species were identified within two of these clades. ⺠Phylogeography indicates that dispersal and vicariance have moulds this diversity. ⺠The evolutionary trends of four phenotypic traits were inferred.
