RÉSUMÉDes inventaires de crustacés décapodes ont été réalisés dans les eaux douces de Polynésie française pendant 4 ans. 13 espèces ont été trouvées : deux sont endémiques Caridina rapaensis (Edmonson, 1935) des Iles Australes et Macrobrachium feunteuni n. sp. des Iles Marquises et qui est décrite ici comme nouvelle. Macrobrachium grandimanus (Randall, 1840) a été capturé pour la première fois dans cette région. Les eaux douces de Polynésie française sont riches et maintenant bien connues.

A REVIEW OF FRESHWATER ATYIDAE AND PALAEMONIDAE OF FRENCH POLYNESIA WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW MACROBRACHIUM SPECIES.
ABSTRACTInventories of the freshwater crustacean were carried out on French Polynesia rivers over a period of 4 years. 13 species were found: two are endemic, Caridina rapaensis (Edmonson, 1935) from Austral islands and Macrobrachium feunteuni n. sp. from Marquesas islands which is described here as new. Macrobrachium grandimanus (Randall, 1840) was caught for the first time in this area. Freshwaters of French Polynesia are rich and now well known.
NOTE TO READERSOver the years, the editorial policy of the Bulletin Français de la Pêche et de la Pisciculture has fostered the dissemination of high-quality scientific papers covering most of the disciplines crucial to the sustainable management of freshwater ecosystems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
