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: 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. Palaemonetes has therefore been synonymised with Palaemon.
