Does anyone know if there are shrimps from South America?

I received an e-mail from a person who has a South America biotope and wants to keep some shrimps in his aquarium, but that must be shrimps from South America..

Yes
Palaemonetes ivonicus
potimirin
xiphocaris (more in caribean )
microtaya (caribean)
jonga also if i remember well

Should be lots of sp pending to be discovered there...

Potimirin is a beautiful genus from South America, Potimirin potimirin is easily found in Brasil for example.
