Resum

During three months of the last two winters fairy shrimps of the genus Branchipus, which appear in abundance in the raining rock pools located in a northeast gully of Fuerteventura, were observed and collected for the first time in the Canary Islands (Fuerteventura). Branchi-pus reproduction in the laboratory allowed us to observe that the complete cycle was ephemeral, lasting 15-17 days, and anatomic and taxonomic features were consistent with the existing descriptions of the Branchipus schaefferi Fischer, 1834 , although a small variation was observed in the male head
