Syncaris pacifica
† Syncaris pasadenae

Syncaris is a genus of shrimp, containing only two species: the endangered California freshwater shrimp, Syncaris pacifica , and the extinct Pasadena freshwater shrimp, Syncaris pasadenae . [1] [2] This genus is one of only two genera of freshwater Atyid shrimp found in North America, with the other being the genus Palaemonias , which contains two endangered, cave-dwelling shrimp species. [3] The genus Syncaris may have arisen during the Mesozoic, with the family Atyidae likely being of Jurassic origin. [2] [3]
