A new snapping shrimp species of the Alpheus macrocheles (Hailstone, 1835) group is described based on a single adult male specimen collected on an exposed forereef near Magoodhoo Island, Faafu Atoll, Maldives. Alpheus dingabadi sp. nov. is one of several species of the A. macrocheles group characterised by the presence of a stout distoventral tooth on the merus of the third pereiopod, but can be separated from all of them by several morphological features, including the unusually long appendix masculina on the second pleopod, as well as by its conspicuous and highly diagnostic colour pattern.
本文描述了基于在马尔代夫法鲁环礁马古度岛附近暴露的前礁采集到的一只成体雄性标本，发现了一个新的鼓虾物种，隶属于 Alpheus macrocheles (Hailstone, 1835) 组。Alpheus dingabadi sp. nov. 是该 A. macrocheles 组的几个物种之一，其特征是第三对步足的外末缘具一粗壮的向腹内弯的齿，但可通过若干形态特征与所有这些物种相区分，包括第二对腹肢上异常长的附肢阳茎，以及其明显且高度诊断的颜色模式。
