| Summary: | Caridina sobrina Riek, 1953, only known from Fraser Island (Queensland, Australia), is redescribed and elevated from subspecies to species level. A morphologically very similar species, Caridina pagei sp. nov., is described from nearby Moreton Island. The taxon known in previous literature as Caridina sp. C2 is also illustrated but left unnamed in view of its complete morphological overlap with C. pagei, despite substantial genetic drift. |
