A worldwide list of species that have to be assigned to the genus Hemicypris is given. H. exigua n. sp. and H. barbadensis n. sp. are described. A redescription is given of H. reticulata (Klie, 1930), a species from Paraguay, which was also encountered in the Antillean islands. Descriptions of chaetotaxy are made according to the system of Broodbakker & Danielopol (1982). The morphology of the limbs of the three species is similar to that of the species of the genus Heterocypris encountered in the West Indies.
