This shrimp is known from Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and southern China.
In the observed living specimens, the body is rather translucent and pale brown, with scattered dark brown spots.
In southern Thailand, it is abundant in still freshwater habitats such as lakes, ponds and reservoirs, sometimes also in streams and lowland rivers, living on floating plants or bank vegetation.
In the females examined from southern Thailand, the rostrum curves downwards near the base, then upwards towards the front, ending in two tips.
In the females examined from southern Thailand, the back edge of the telson is rounded without a central projection.
