Alima neptuni is a species of shrimp in the Squillidae family, and was first described in 1768 by Carl Linnaeus as Cancer neptuni.[2][3]

It is found in all tropical seas with the exception of the eastern Pacific Ocean.[4]

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1768 by Linnaeus as Cancer neptuni.[2][3] It was redescribed in 1893 by Robert Payne Bigelow as Squilla alba.[5] In 1986 Raymond Manning and Chanan Lewinsohn[1] assigned it to the genus Alima with the species name Alima neptuni, and synonymised A alba, and A. hyalina and various other shrimps with A. neptuni.[5] In 1998 Joseph Poupin described it as Alima alba.[5][6] The most recent description (as A. neptuni) was in 2002 by Shane Ahyong.[5][4]
