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.
