Caridina nilotica (Eoux). 



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



1908. Caridina nilotica, de Man, Records 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, natalensis, specimens collected in the river Umgeni, 



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



vol. X., p. 168, 1897) to Caridina tvyckii (Hickson), and 



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



2Jaucipara 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.
