Abstract
Seven speceis in the penaeid shrimp genus Metapenaeus Wood-Mason in Wood-Mason & Alcock, 1891 are reported from Taiwan. Metapenaeus elegans De Man, 1907 is formerly recorded in Taiwan for the first time. A neotype is selected for the subspecies M. joyneri formosus Lee & Yu, 1977 and this action synonymizes this subspecies with the nominotypical form. A key to the species of Metapenaeus in Taiwan is provided.
