Beurlenia araripensis is an extinct species of shrimp in its own genus, Beurlenia. It is named after the German palaeontologist Karl Beurlen (1901–1985). Fossils of the shrimp were found in the Crato Formation of the Araripe Basin of northeastern Brazil. A study on the anatomy and morphological variation in araripensis, based on data from fossil samples from the Crato Formation (Brazil), is published by Barros et al. (2021).
