Abstract
Several species of atyid freshwater shrimp are currently known from Papua New Guinea. Here, two new species are described: Caridina buergersi sp. nov. and C. elisabethae sp. nov. In addition, we provide new records for C. demani and C. cognata, originally described from New Guinea by J. Roux (1911) and De Man (1915).References
