The atyid shrimps of Caridina nilotica species group from China are reviewed. Taxonomic diagnosis and discussions are given to three species so far known from China, viz. Caridina gracilipes De Man, 1892, Caridina macrophora Kemp, 1918 and Caridina elongapoda Liang & Yan, 1977. Detailed morphological description and illustrations are provided for a new species. Caridina sheni sp. nov. is morphologically similar to C. gracilipes but could be distinguished by its much longer dactylus of third and fifth pereiopods, and lower number of ventral rostral teeth. Résumé: Les crevettes Atyidae du groupe d'espèces Caridina nilotica de Chine sont révisées. La diagnose taxonomique et des discussions sont données pour trois espèces connues jusqu'à présent de Chine, soit Caridina gracilipes De Man, 1892, Caridina macrophora Kemp, 1918 et Caridina elongapoda Liang & Yan, 1977. La description morphologique détaillée et des illustrations sont fournies pour une nouvelle espèce. Caridina sheni sp. nov. est morphologiquement similaire à C. gracilipes mais s'en distingue par son dactyle beaucoup plus long des troisièmes et cinquièmes péréiopodes et un plus petit nombre de dents rostrales ventrales.

The present paper reports 13 species of shrimp from Dongtou Island, Zhejiang Province, in the East China Sea. Among these, a species of alpheid, Alpheus euphrosyne De Man, 1897, which is very similar to the typical subspecies, is recorded for the first time from Chinese waters; one species of penaeid, Metapenaeus affinis (H. Milne Edwards, 1837), is recorded for the first time from Zhejiang; and six other species are recorded for the first time from Dongtou Island with certainty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
