Abstract
The caridean shrimp Ogyrides zoyaesophiearum sp. nov. is described from the Pakistan coast, specifically the eastern coast of the Arabian Sea. The new species is closely related to O. saldanhae Barnard. Earlier, in 2012, the present material was described as O. saldanhae Barnard from Pakistan, but a closer inspection indicates that it likely represents an undescribed species. O. zoyaesophiearum can be distinguished from its congeners by its five-segmented carpus of the second leg and two pairs of lateral spines on the telson.
