Palaemon (genus)

Palaemon is a genus of caridean shrimp of the family Palaemonidae. The conventional circumscription of the genus Palaemon is probably paraphyletic. Molecular data suggest that Palaemonetes, as well as the genera Exopalaemon and Couteriella, are nested within Palaemon. Phylogenetic affinities in these groups correspond better with geographical origin than conventional genus assignments.[2]

Members

The genus contains the following species:[1]

gollark: Zero. We don't have many excess bees.
gollark: Excess bees are compacted into singularities.
gollark: If this doesn't work awfully, it should send the top bees in for bee things and stick the rest in indefinite storage.
gollark: Automated bee eugenics activated.
gollark: APPARENTLY some of the bees damage blocks.
