Abstract
Five species of freshwater shrimps of the genus Caridina H. Milne Edwards, 1837 are recognised from Myanmar. Of these, three are described as new: C. williamsi, C. rangoona and C. burmensis. Caridina annandalei Kemp, 1918, a species not reported since its original description, is rediagnosed and fig ured in detail. The status of C. weberi prox. var. sumatrensis De Man, 1892 is discussed.
