Popis: A new palaemonid shrimp, Leptopalaemon gagadjui, gen. nov., sp. nov., from the Arnhem Land plateau, Australia, is described and illustrated, and its systematic position discussed. The new genus most closely resembles Leptocarpus Holthuis, 1950, presently known only from India. Palaemonetes holthuisi Strenth is re-examined and excluded from the genus Palaemonetes. A new genus, Calathaemon, is designated for its accommodation.
