Hispanopedia WikiBranchinella is a genus of crustaceans in the familyThamnocephalidae. This fairy shrimp genus is found across many parts of the world, but especially western Australia and southern Africa.[2]
Several species have small ranges and are threatened by habitat destruction. For example, B. latzi is only known from south Northern Territory and southwest Queensland,[3] but it has been extirpated from the Uluru region due to pollution from urine and faeces of tourists.[4]
The species Branchinella kugenumaensis are known as "Honen shrimp" (ホウネンエビ) in Japan, and are commonly found in rice fields during the early summer.[5][6]
