Branchinecta ferrolimneta, a new species of fairy shrimp, is described from shallow temporary pools from west of Nova Lima, about 10 km south-southeast of Belo Horizonte, in southeastern Brasil. This new species is the second species of Branchinecta to be described from Brasil. B. ferrolimneta is unique among Branchinecta species in the form of the male second antenna, and the female brood pouch and dorsolateral ornamentation. Observations on the ecology of B. ferrolimneta are discussed.
