Remarks. –
Cai & Ng (2007) recently reviewed the taxonomy of the
Caridina gracilirostris
species group in detail, referring the form with no appendix interna in endopod of male first pleopod as
C. gracilirostris
sensu stricto
and the other, with a distinct appendix interna in the endopod of male first pleopod, as
C. appendiculata
Jalihal & Shenoy, 1998
. The specimens from
Bohol
have no appendix interna on the endopod of the male first pleopod, and are here referred to
C
.
gracilirostris
. It is an insular or coastal freshwater species commonly distributed in Indo-West Pacific region.
