Phallocryptus spinosus, the halophilic fairy shrimp, is a species of fairy shrimp within the family Thamnocephalidae.[2] The species of previously recorded from a shallow salty pond in Tabriz, occurring in the same area as Branchinecta orientalis. More locations were reported in similar habitats in central and south Iran from Bafq and Lar, and a 4th population was found 200 kilometers south to the original locality.[3] It occurs in parts of Southern Africa, notably the Makgadikgadi Pans of Botswana.[4] Other crustacean species found in this region of Botswana in co-existence with B. spinosa include Moina belli.
