Abstract

Following an introduction to the anatomy and ecology of fairy shrimps living in Australian fresh waters, identification keys are provided for males of two species of Australobranchipus, one species of Streptocephalus and 39 species of Branchinella. A key to females of the three genera is also provided, though identification to species is not always possible.
