Ascidonia miserabilis is a species of caridean shrimp (true shrimps) that belongs to the family Palaemonidae.[1] This species can be found in the Western Atlantic Ocean and in the Caribbean Sea. Records of this species has also been reported in the Rocas Atoll, Brazil.[2][3]
This genus was described in 1951 by Lipke Holthuis, a Dutch carcinologist who is often described as "the greatest carcinologist of our time", as Pontonia miserabilis. However it was superseded by Combinatio nova (Comb. nov) this its modern classification.[1][2]
