Popis:	Burrowing thalassinid shrimp are important ecosystem engineers in estuarine benthic communities. We characterized 31 microsatellite loci in two shrimp species, Neotrypaea californiensis and Upogebia pugettensis, which are of current management concern due to declining abundance and interactions with shellfish aquaculture. All loci were variable with three to 22 alleles per locus and observed heterozygosity of 0.22–1.00. There were only four deviations from Hardy–Weinberg expectations and no significant linkage disequilibrium. These are the first microsatellites characterized for these species and provide a useful tool for further characterization of population structure and diversity.
