Palinustus unicornutus sp. nov. is described. Of the three previously known species it is morphologically most similar to P. truncatus from the Lesser Antilles in that it possesses a distinct median spine or rostrum on the anterior margin of the carapace instead of the submedian arrangements of the other species. P. mossambicus was originally recorded from only slightly further north on the east coast of southern Africa (Mozambique), but there appears to be an error in the locality cited.
