Branchinella
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Branchinella is a genus of crustaceans in the family Thamnocephalidae. This fairy shrimp genus is found across many parts of the world, but especially western Australia and southern Africa.[1]
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,[2] but it has been extirpated from the Uluru region due to pollution from urine and faeces of tourists.[3]
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.[4][5]
