Selected Reference(s)
Hippolyte ventricosa. - Naim, O., 1980a: annexe 1-2. [record uncertain, cf. Udekem d'Acoz, d', 1999] - French Polynesia
Hippolyte ventricosa. - Udekem d'Acoz, C. d., 1999: 72. ["Hippolyte ventricosa is only know with certainty only from India"] - World distribution

Regional Data (French Polynesia, Pitcairn, Easter Island, Clipperton)
Distribution & Ecology: Society (Moorea) - Marine; Shoreline to 10 m; Algae facultative associate (gen. Turbinaria).

Regional Records: Hippolyte ventricosa - Holthuis, 1947: 55, fig. 7-9 (Syn.). - Naim, 1980, annexe 1-2 (Moorea; in alga Turbinaria ornata). - Poupin, 1998: 24 (Checklist). - Remark: this species is recorded from French Polynesia in a thesis (NAIM, 1980). However, after d'UDEKEM d'ACOZ (1999) redescription of Hippolyte ventricosa, this record now appears very uncertain. D'Udekem d'Acoz (1999 : 72) writes : "Hippolyte ventricosa is only know with certainty from India ... Most other Indo-Pacific records are probably based on other species." (see last addition section).
