Two new species of palaemonid shrimp associated with ascidian hosts, from Tidore and , from Ternate, Indonesia are described and figured. Through phylogenetic analyses based on both morphological and molecular datasets (mitochondrial Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene and the 16S mitochondrial ribo...
