'''''Typhlatya''''' is a genus of [[Caridea|shrimp]] in the family [[Atyidae]]. These are small, [[Stygofauna|stygobitic]] shrimp found in the West [[Mediterranean]] region (France and Spain), Caribbean region (the [[Antilles]], [[Bahamas]] and [[Yucatán Peninsula|Yucatán]]), [[Ascension Island]] and the [[Galápagos]], although the individual species often have very small ranges.<ref name=Botello2013>{{cite journal| author1=Botello, A. | author2=T.M.

==Taxonomy, species and conservation==
There are currently 17 recognized species, of which one is listed by the [[IUCN]] as [[critically endangered]] (marked "CR" below), and six are considered [[vulnerable species|vulnerable]] (marked "VU").<ref>{{cite web |author=Charles Fransen |year=2011 |title=''Typhlatya'' |publisher=[[World Register of Marine Species]] |url=http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=240674 |access-date=September 29, 2012}}</ref> [[Phylogenetic]] studies indicate that the genus as presently defined is [[paraphyletic]] and needs to be redefined, as ''T. galapagensis'' [[Clade|clusters]] with the widespread ''[[Antecaridina]]'' and ''T. monae'' likely with the Australian ''[[Stygiocaris]]''. On a higher level, these three genera, together with ''[[Halocaridina]]'' and ''[[Halocaridinides]]'', form a group.<ref name=Botello2013/> In addition to the species below, ''"Typhlatya" jusbaschjani'' (Georgia) and ''"Typhlatya" pretneri'' (Hercegovina) have been listed in this genus, but the former is a ''[[species inquirenda]]'' and recent authorities generally include the latter in ''[[Troglocaris]]''.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Jaume, D. |author2=F.
