Abstract
The two atyid shrimp species Caridina buehleri and Caridina appendiculata have not been reported since their first description many years ago. Based on new material from the Luwuk Peninsula in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, we here redescribe these poorly known species and provide a discussion of their taxonomic status. In addition, we give a brief review of the atyid shrimp known from Sulawesi.References
