CAKIDINA NILOTICA (Eoux). 



1833. Pelias niloticus, Eoux, Ann. Sci. Nat., vol. xxviii., p. 73, pi. 7- 

 1908. Car id iua nilotica, de Man, Eecovds of the Indian Museum, 



vol. ii., pp. 255, 262, 263, pi. 20. 



According to Dr. de Man, " all the varieties living on the 

 islands of the Indian Archipelago and in Bengal are certainly 

 distinct from those occurring in Africa." He names as a new 

 variety, natalerisis, specimens collected in the river Umgeni, 

 Natal, wrongly referred by Professor Weber (Zool. Jahrb, 

 vol. x., p. 168, 1897) to Caridina wyckii (Hickson), and 

 accepts as an independent variety of C. nilotica, the var. 

 paucipara from Natal, which Professor Weber (loc. cit., 

 p. 168) named as a variety of Hickson's C. wyckii. The 

 species designated by Weber as C. typus, Milne-Edwards, 

 from Natal, is not mentioned by de Man in his latest paper, 

 so that its name, either as species or variety under the new 

 scheme, remains vague. Caridina africana, Kingsley (Bull. 

 Essex Inst., vol. xiv., p. 127 (23), pi. 1, fig. 3, 1882), from 

 Zululand, similarly remains indefinite.
