Numerous specimens of a freshwater shrimp with small eggs belonging to the Caridina nilotica complex collected in South Western Indian Ocean were studied and compared recent old collection genetically (16S mitochondrial analysis for type specimens) morphologically. The results revealed that, Ocean, what has been identified by several authors under various species names C. nilotica, was fact natalensis De Man, 1908. This valid is re-described closely related species, often confused it this...
Following recent (2014–2017) collections made in the Solomon Islands by MNHN and NGO ESSI, we provide a checklist of species amphidromous freshwater shrimps genus Caridina H. Milne Edwards, 1837 from this region. Using morphological as well molecular data an integrative taxonomic perspective, found total 24 species, including 11 new for science, that are described or re-described, illustrated discussed relation to their habitat distribution. Newly barakoma sp. nov., C. choiseul intermedia...
During field trips to Guam and Babeldaob Islands in Micronesia, freshwater shrimps were sampled assigned either Caridina brachydactyla De Man, 1908 or C. mertoni J. Roux, 1911 (Decapoda: Atyidae), following previous inventories. In combining morphological data with a genetical analysis, it appeared that all the specimens belonged new species, variabilis sp. nov., here described its distribution. The status of this species is clarified finally, neither brachydactyla, nor occur these two...
Caridina weberi, an emblematic species of the 'C. weberi complex', was described by De Man in 1892 from different localities Indonesia. Until now, this thought to have a wide distribution Polynesia. Numerous specimens identified as C. were collected recently various Polynesian islands. In context integrative taxonomy, they morphologically and genetically studied. Three new allied are here described: marquesensis n. sp., futunensis sp. tupaia The occurrence rapaensis, another part weberi'...
Abstract A new assessment of the global biodiversity decapod Crustacea (to 31 December 2022) records 17,229 species in 2,550 genera and 203 families. These figures are derived from a well-curated dataset maintained on online platform DecaNet, subsidiary World Register Marine Species (WoRMS). Distinct phases recognised discovery process (as measured by descriptions) corresponding to major historical geopolitical time periods, with current rate descriptions being more than three times higher...
Recently, the status of a new species atyid shrimp from Pohnpei (Micronesia) was discussed in relation to C. brachydactyla De Man, 1908 and mertoni J. Roux, 1911. By combining morphological data with phylogenetic analysis closely related species, this is here described as Caridina variabilirostris sp. nov. Notes on its ecological distribution are also provided. The characterized by highly variable rostrum present rivers all over Island. clarified it shown that neither Man nor 1911 occur
Macrobrachium australe is an amphidromous prawn living in the insular freshwater systems of Indo-Pacific. Because it possesses few informative morphological characters, that often vary from one habitat to another, M. has produced much taxonomic confusion and historically been described under eight synonyms. Here, 53 specimens collected throughout Indo-Pacific name were phylogenetically morphologically examined. Results revealed what called belongs at least two distinct species: australe,...
A new genus and species, Richerius marqueti gen. et sp. nov., of a crab the family Hymenosomatidae MacLeay, 1838 are described from inland waters New Caledonia based on several specimens collected in two streams at altitudes 180 m 500 m, respectively. nov. was compared to other freshwater species known Caledonia, Odiomaris pilosus (A. Milne-Edwards, 1873), Amarinus Lucas, 1980, comprising many Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, Papua Guinea, but never recorded Caledonia. The barcode...
Abstract The caridean shrimps comprise one of the largest groups amphidromous species, sharing their life cycle between freshwater habitats and ocean. Key species tropical ecosystems, some which are also targets for local or international markets without any regulations being implemented, make carideans particularly vulnerable to threats facing natural populations. We present an inventory overview habitats, interests they arouse, because ecological role as well commercial importance face....
External morphology has always been the first criterion used to separate species of shrimps, especially in freshwater genus Caridina H. Milne-Edwards, 1837, but more doubts have expressed regarding relevance some morphological characters. We collected 27 specimens from seven different localities during field work conducted on island Pohnpei (Federated States Micronesia). After genetic verification that they all belonged same species, 19 variables were measured and correlated with elevation...
Twelve species of atyid shrimps are reported from three Micronesian islands (Babeldaob, Pohnpei, and Guam) studied using a combined morphological molecular approach. Among them, new records for the area (Caridina appendiculata, Caridina lobocensis, rubella), while here described: Atyoida chacei sp. nov., ponapensis rintelenorum nov. Descriptions these species, diagnoses poorly known taxonomic notes provided herein their biogeography is discussed.
In the present contribution, five species of Ptychognathus Stimpson, 1858 are reported from Polynesia: P. crassimanus Finnegan, 1931, easteranus Rathbun, 1907, riedelii (A. Milne-Edwards, 1868) and two new species. The first named ngankeeae sp. nov. is close to barbatus 1873) New Caledonia, which here redescribed for comparison purposes. second similis hachijoensis Sakai, 1955.
Caridina longirostris H. Milne Edwards, 1837 described from specimens supposedly La Macta River near Oran, Algeria, is an emblematic species of the ‘C. nilotica complex’. Until now this was thought to have a wide distribution in Indo-Pacific region. Recently, numerous identified as C. were collected various Indo-West Pacific localities. In context integrative taxonomy, both old and newly morphologically genetically studied. Four allied are here identified: appendiculata Jalihal &...
Integrated molecular and morphological studies of newly collected curated specimens the genus Caridina from Atherton Tablelands, Wet Tropics World Heritage Area in north-eastern Queensland, Australia indicated presence an undescribed species belonging to zebra Short 1993 complex. This is somewhat intermediate, although distinct on basis data morphology, two known sympatric species, C. confusa Choy Marshall 1997, allopatric spinula Cape York Peninsula, about 500 km north. It described here as...
The taxonomy of the freshwater shrimps Caridina (Atyidae) is very complex and confused mostly because morphological characters that have traditionally been used for species delimitation identification are highly plastic. There thus a need an integrative approach to their taxonomy. In total, 42 specimens belonging either buehleri Roux, 1934 or gueryi Marquet, Keith & Kalfatak, 2009 were examined. We combined here data from 12 whole distributional range species, including type with 16S...
Following recent expeditions to Mindoro Island, the Philippines, numerous samples of atyid shrimps were collected and then studied in an integrative taxonomy framework. A total 16 species belonging 4 genera are hereby reported, including 8 new records for island and/or Philippines: Atydina atyoides, Caridina bruneiana, C. celebensis, elongapoda, papuana, parvirostris, typus, zhujiangensis, one species, leptopoda sp. nov. Sequences 16S rRNA have been produced all taxonomical notes provided....
Abstract A new species of extinct freshwater shrimp was discovered in the Eocene deposit Messel Pit Konservat-Lagerstätte. This rare find is represented by only a few specimens, one which showing exceptionally preserved soft tissues and other internal parts like stomach with possibly gastric ossicles place, branchiae, ovary, left mandible, never described fossil shrimp. The Bechleja brevirostris n. sp. characterized short rostrum bearing 6–8 dorsal spines ventral tooth, long second...
Numerous specimens of Atyoida were collected in Polynesia during specific samplings led by the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNHN, Paris) from 1983 to 2017. In context an integrative taxonomy, all Polynesian morphologically and genetically studied. The molecular study proved that split two different clades separated 7% genetic distance (16S) geographically structured can be considered as distinct species. this article, A. tahitensis Stimpson, 1860 Eastern is re-validated a species...
