Remarks:

Bernardes et al. (2017) [ 105] reported this single specimen from Mindoro under the name Caridina typus , belonging to their clade TAL. Recently published mitochondrial DNA sequences from specimens of C. zhujiangensis from the type locality (Xu et al., 2020 [ 109]) allowed us to confirm the identity of this specimen.

This species’ status has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List yet.
