Caridina brevicarpalis brevicarpalis View in CoL —Chace, 1997 [ 20]: 8.

Habitat: This species prefers the lower course of rivers, sometimes in brackish conditions.

Distribution: On Mindoro: Localities no. 8, 9 and 13. Known with certainty from Indonesia (Sulawesi, Borneo, Ambon, and Waigeo) and the Philippines (Palawan, Mindanao, and Mindoro).

Remarks:

Measurements of our specimens from Mindoro fit within the variation reported in the original description of the type specimens by De Man (1892) [ 46] and the DNA sequences cluster with sequences from specimens collected in Sulawesi, the type locality of C. brevicarpalis . Cai and Shokita (2006) [ 12] reported this species for the first time from the Philippines and Mindoro and treated it as distinct from Caridina endehensis (see next species).

This species has been assessed as Least Concern for the IUCN Red List (De Grave et al., 2013 [ 75]).
