Six Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud have been discovered with periods less than one day. They lie at the faint, blue end of the instability strip as would be expected but form a separate Period-Luminosity relation from that for normal Cepheids. Membership in the LMC is based upon the existence of the P-L relationship. Several of the variables have uncertain periods although all apparently have periods under one day. One additional variable has tentatively been identified as a bright Anomalous Cepheid.
