Six species of freshwater shrimp are reported Macrobrachium americanum, M. occidentale, M. digueti, M. michoacanus, M. hobbsi and M. tenellum. The higher richness and diversity of freshwater prawns are found on the coastal plain. The presence of prawns in relation to the altitudinal gradient is discussed.
