What changed in 2026
An integrative original description by Chow et al. added three Hong Kong cryptic Caridina species and reported the traditionally defined serrata group polyphyletic with at least four mitochondrial lineages. The group must not appear as one falsely certain vertical family pedigree.
What changed in 2014 and 2024
The 2014 species revision described C. logemanni, C. mariae and C. conghuensis; the 2024 authors described C. ngankeeae. Some other names are older comparators. These records do not establish a commercial hybrid-cross lineage.
