Based on new material from the Luwuk Peninsula in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, we here redescribe these poorly known species and provide a discussion of their taxonomic status. In addition, we give a brief review of the atyid shrimp known from Sulawesi. Key words: Caridina buehleri, Caridina appendiculata, freshwater shrimp, Sulawesi Introduction The freshwater atyid shrimp fauna of Sulawesi has received considerable attention for more than a century. The first species described from the island was Atya wyckii from Lake Tondano in the northern Minahassa region (Hickson 1888), which was later (as Caridina wyckii) regarded as endemic to Sulawesi (Johnson 1963). De Man (1892) described several new species and subspecies or variations on Sulawesi from the collections made by Max Weber: C. brachydactyla (as C. wyckii typica), C. brevicarpalis, C. celebensis (as C. serratirostris var. celebensis), C. gracilipes (as C. wyckii gracilipes), C. gracilirostris, C. pareparensis and C. weberi (from Flores and Sulawesi). In addition De Man (1892) provided the first records of C. typus and C. multidentata from Sulawesi. Recently Cai et al. (2006) could show that C. multidentata De Man is rather an undescribed species distinct from C. multidentata Stimpson, 1860. All species described by De Man (1892) were exclusively found in rivers. C. acutirostris, C. ensifera and C. sarasinorum described from Lake Poso (Schenkel 1902) and characterized by partly strong reduced epipodites at the pereiopods were the first endemic species discovered in the central lakes of Sulawesi. More riverine forms described were the doubtful form C. nilotica minahassae from northern Sulawesi (De Man 1902), and C. opaensis from the Opa (Aopa) swamp area, C. linduensis from Lake Lindu and C. pareparensis parvidentata from Malawa spring (Roux 1904). Woltereck (1937a, 1937b) described seven new species from the Malili lake system in the central highlands of Sulawesi, which are also characterised by strongly reduced epipodites: C. lanceolata, C. lingkonae, C. loehae, C. masapi, C. spinata, C. tenuirostris and C. towutensis. Chace (1997) mentioned some species from Sulawesi, synonymizing C. nilotica minahassae, C. brachydactyla and C. gracilipes with C. nilotica typica as well as C. celebensis with C. serratirostris. Most of these taxa are today considered valid species, however. C. wyckii as reported by Hickson and Johnson (1963) was Accepted by J. Goy: 2 Apr. 2007; published: 7 May 2007 1

not reported by Chace (1997). In 2005 an new genus with two new troglobitic species, Marosina longirostris and Marosina brevirostris from a cave system of the Maros Area in southwestern Sulawesi was described by Cai & Ng (2005). The most recent addition to the atyid fauna of Sulawesi is Caridina spongicola from the Malili lake system (Zitzler & Cai, 2006). Further investigations of the rivers and lakes of the island will presumably lead to the discovery of more new species. Recently, extensive collections of shrimp from various parts of the island were made in the course of a phylogeograpic study of Caridina (Decapoda, Atyidae) from Sulawesi (von Rintelen, Page & Glaubrecht unpubl. data). Morphological examinations of the collected material revealed that a sample from Luwuk Peninsula contains two interesting species of the genus Caridina not reported since their original description which are here described and illustrated in detail. Material and methods Specimens were collected during a fieldtrip in May 2005 to Luwuk Peninsula, Central Sulawesi, (Fig. 1) by the senior author and colleagues with a hand net and preserved in 75%-96% alcohol. For measurements and drawings one female and the sexual appendices of one male were dissected. Drawings were made with a drawing tube mounted on a Reichert Biovar compound microscope, and measurements were taken with an ocular micrometer. All material has been deposited in the collections of the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense, Bogor, Indonesia (MZB) and the Museum für Naturkunde (Museum of Natural History), Berlin, Germany (ZMB). The following abbreviations are used in the present text: cl, carapace length (measured from the postorbital margin to the posterior margin of the carapace), and rl, rostrum length (measured from the tip of the rostrum to the postorbital margin).

gin, dorsal surface with two rows of 4 6 movable spines including the pair at posterolateral angles; posterior margin (Fig.3i) with 7 12 setae, intermedial plumose setae much longer than lateral stout pair. Uropodal diaeresis (Fig.3j) with 17 18 spinules. Egg size: 0.40 0.45 x 0.23 0.25 mm. Habitat: All specimens were collected from a freshwater spring at the north coast of Luwuk Peninsula (Fig. 1), which is temporarily flooded with saltwater and represents a typical brackish water environment. The shrimp was predominantly found on rocky substrate. Distribution: C. buehleri was original described by Roux from Bimoun, New Ireland, Papua New Guinea and is now reported from Sulawesi, Indonesia. The small and numerous eggs, indicative of a prolonged larval development, and the habitat (brackish water pool) suggest the possibility of a wider distribution range, though. Remarks: C. buehleri was originally described by Roux in 1934 based on a single non-ovigerous specimen. Even though the description of Roux is brief and bears no information on the formation of the male sexual appendages and the egg size of ovigerous females, there is no doubt about the conspecificity of our specimens with C. buehleri. Our material differs from the measurements given by Roux only in the length to breadth ratio of the propodi of the 3rd (10.1 14.0 times as long as wide vs. 8 times reported by Roux) and 5th (12.8 20.5 times as long as wide vs. 8 times reported by Roux) pereiopods, but this might be merely an adaptation to local circumstances as discussed by Woltereck (1937a) for riverine and lacustrine populations of C. nilotica and should be treated as intraspecific variation. Furthermore the length to breadth ratios of these segments are very variable in the present specimens. The new material from Sulawesi, which includes both males and ovigerous females, provides further information on this species and its taxonomical position. The long, styliform rostrum, the long stylocerite and the long intermediate spines on the distal margin of the telson distinguish Caridina buehleri from all congeners described from the entire Indopacific region. With regards to the long stylocerite, which reaches to the middle of the second segment of the antennular peduncle, and the intermediate spines on the distal margin of the telson (longer than the lateral pair), the species mostly resembles C. serratirostris De Man, 1892 and C. celebensis De Man, 1892. The following characters clearly differentiate C. buehleri from the two species: the form and denticulation of the rostrum with a long unarmed portion distally and the stouter first pereiopods with fingers much shorter than the palm (versus fingers longer than the palm in C. serratirostris and C. celebensis), the carpus 1.2 1.7 times as long as wide, deeply excavated distally (vs. about four times as long as wide, not deeply excavated distally in C. serratirostris and C. celebensis). Additionally C. buehleri possesses a long appendix interna on the male first pleopod which is lacking in C. serratirostris and C. celebensis (De Man 1892; Chace 1997; Liang 2004; Cai & Shokita 2006). A long stylocerite reaching to the second segment of the antennular peduncle is also found in all members of the Caridina serrata species group (Cai 1999, Liang 2004). The long intermediate spines on the distal margin of the telson, the shape of the male first endopod and the small egg size, suggestive of a prolonged larval development, differentiate Caridina buehleri from all members of this species group, though. Moreover it seems unlikely that a member of this species group, comprising only species with large eggs and therefore presumably an abbreviated larval development which usually indicates a limited possibility for oceanic dispersal should be found disjunct on Sulawesi far from the known distribution range of these species in China. The prominent claws on the fingertips of the first pereiopods could possibly represent a specialized feeding adaptation of Caridina buehleri. While apical hooks or claws on fingers of atyid chelae were already discussed by Hickson (1888) in C. wyckii, Bouvier (1925) in his diagnosis of the genus Caridina and Gurney (1984) in her work on Madagascan atyid shrimps, none of them did venture to suggest a function for this character. C. buehleri was collected primarily on rocks and has a rather dark (brownish) body colouration. A second atyid shrimp, C. appendiculata, was found living in sympatry with C. buehleri but on a different substrate (macrophytes) and has a lighter and more conspicuous colouration. The fingers of this species have rounded tips like most other Caridina species. Clawed fingers might prove advantageous in feeding on small inverte- 6 Zootaxa 1466 2007 Magnolia Press KLOTZ ET AL.

brates like oligochaetes or juvenile insect larvae, while species without clawed finger tips are primarily feeding on detritus or single-celled periphyton (Fryer 1960, Hussein & Obuid-Allah 1992). Analyses of the gut content of clawed-fingered species could be used to test this hypothesis.

Scale bars indicate 2.0 mm (g,i,k,b,f); 1 mm (h,a,c,d,e,j,l,m,n,o). Remarks: With the long, upcurved rostrum and the prominent tooth on the preanal carina our specimens resemble C. gracilirostris De Man, 1892. From typical C. gracilirostris as described by De Man (1892) our shrimps differ by a larger number of teeth on the dorsal margin of the rostrum (9 19 vs. 8 10, subapical teeth excluded) which also seem to be somewhat more densely spaced than in typical specimens, a lower number of 8 Zootaxa 1466 2007 Magnolia Press KLOTZ ET AL.

ventral teeth (13 29 vs. 24 37 in C. gracilirostris) and more slender first pereiopods (dactylus 0.9 1.6 times as long as palm vs. as long as palm or shorter in C. gracilirostris), carpus 2.2 3.2 times as long as wide (1.8 times in one female) vs. 1.7 times as pictured by De Man (1892). In preview to an ongoing revision Cai & Shokita (2006) pointed out that those specimens of C. gracilirostris with a well developed appendix interna on male first pleopod should rather be assigned to C. appendiculata. The description of this species by Jalihal & Shenoy (1998) is only rather cursory, but our specimens agree well with an extended description of this species (Cai, pers. comm.). We tentatively assign our specimens from Malontong to C. appendiculata, thus. The latter also resembles C. brevidactyla Roux, 1919, particularly the form and dimension of the pereiopods. C. appendiculata only differs from C. brevidactyla in a lower number of teeth on the proximal part of the dorsal margin of the rostrum (9 19 vs. 9 30 -mostly 17 24- as described by Roux, 1919, for C. brevidactyla), a slightly lower number of spines on the dactylus of the fifth pereiopods (about 37 vs. 50 63 in C. brevidactayla) and by possessing a prominent tooth on the preanal carina (which is absent in C. brevidactyla, according to the description of a sample from Halmahera, Indonesia by Cai & Ng (2001). De Man also reported 3 specimens of C. gracilirostris from Luwuk Peninsula and some more from Flores which differ from his typical form from Balangnipa, Sulawesi, in having the same slender first and second pereiopods as our specimens, thus pointing towards conspecificity of these specimens to the present species.
