Palaemonetes, its common names include glass shrimp, ghost shrimp, feeder shrimp, is a genus of caridean shrimp comprising a geographically diverse group of fresh water, brackish and marine crustaceans. Conventionally, Palaemonetes included the following species:[2]

  • Palaemonetes africanus Balss, 1916
  • Palaemonetes antennarius (H. Milne-Edwards, 1837)
  • Palaemonetes antrorum Benedict, 1896
  • Palaemonetes argentinus Nobili, 1901
  • Palaemonetes atrinubes Bray, 1976
  • Palaemonetes australis Dakin, 1915
  • Palaemonetes camranhi Nguyên, 1997
  • Palaemonetes carteri Gordon, 1935
  • Palaemonetes cummingi Chace, 1954
  • Palaemonetes hiltoni Schmitt, 1921
  • Palaemonetes hobbsi Strenth, 1994
  • Palaemonetes intermedius Holthuis, 1949
  • Palaemonetes ivonicus Holthuis, 1950
  • Palaemonetes kadiakensis Rathbun, 1902
  • Palaemonetes karukera Carvacho, 1979
  • Palaemonetes lindsayi Villalobos Figueroa & H. H. Hobbs Jr., 1974
  • Palaemonetes mercedae S. Pereira, 1986
  • Palaemonetes mesogenitor Sollaud, 1912
  • Palaemonetes mesopotamicus Pesta, 1913
  • Palaemonetes mexicanus Strenth, 1976
  • Palaemonetes octaviae Chace, 1972
  • Palaemonetes paludosus (Gibbes, 1850)
  • Palaemonetes pugio Holthuis, 1949
  • Palaemonetes schmitti Holthuis, 1950
  • Palaemonetes sinensis (Sollaud, 1911)
  • Palaemonetes suttkusi Smalley, 1964
  • Palaemonetes texanus Strenth, 1976
  • Palaemonetes tonkinensis
  • Palaemonetes turcorum Holthuis, 1961
  • Palaemonetes vulgaris (Say, 1818)
  • Palaemonetes zariquieyi Sollaud, 1938


Molecular data suggest however that Palaemonetes is not phylogenetically distinct from the genus Palaemon. Phylogenetically species of Palaemonetes, as well as those in the genera Exopalaemon and Couteriella, are nested within Palaemon. Phylogenetic affinities in these groups correspond better with geographical origin than conventional genus assignments.[3] Palaemonetes has therefore been synonymised with Palaemon.[4]
