Source-derived summary

Caridina simoni is a freshwater shrimp found widespread in Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu, India. The Indian population was originally described as Caridina kunnathurensis by Richard & Chandran in 1994, but was later identified to be the same species. It is found in a diversity of habitats, including both rivers and lakes.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Caridina simoni” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Caridina, simoni and species provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 30, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q13456008. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1994.

Critical limits

A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
