Neale (University of Hull, England) Heterocypris luzonensis sp. nov. Holotype: University of Hull coll. no. HU.308.R.la, b, .9 LV, appendages and soft parts. [Paratypes: University of Hull coll. nos. HU.308.R.2 - 8 (two 66, five 99)] . Type locality: Flooded soil in rice fields at the International Rice Research Institute Farm, Los Banos area, Laguna, Luzon I., Philippines, (14° 10' N, 121° 15' E). Derivation of name: From the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Figured specimens: University of Hull coll. nos.

Diagnosis: Smooth to faintly pitted Heterocypris with valves moderately densely covered with fine setae and greatest height at or a little in front of mid-length in left valve and at or a little behind mid-length in right. Right valve tapers and is more narrowly rounded anteriorly than posteriorly; anterior and posterior margins in this valve are finely dentate. Zenker’s organ with 38 to 41 rosettes.

Scale A (250 pm; x 67), fig. 1 ; scale B (250 pm;\ 78), fig. 2. Stereo- Atlas of Ostracod Shells 8, 81 Heterocypris luzonensis (3 of 8) Remarks: This species differs from all species of Heterocypris and Cyprinotus so far described from the Philippines. It differs from that well known tropical species H. dentatomarginatus (Baird) in the shape of the valves and in having the marginal denticulations in the right valve and not the left. It differs from that other commonly recorded species H. incongruens (Ramdohr) in the greatest height of the valves being situated more centrally, the greater elongation of the valves, the apparently more slender pointed lappets of the copulatory appendage, the proportions of the furca and in various other details of the appendage anatomy. Comparisons with other species are not close. There is a marked size difference between the 99 (1328 to 1412 pm) and the 66 (1092 to 1176 /im). The fifth pair of limbs in the male shows the usual strong asymmetry of the left and right claspers found in the genus. Distribution: This species has so far been found only in the Philippines where it is present in some abundance. Thanks to the kindness of Dr. Ian F. Grant I had the opportunity of examining this monospecific fauna from the type locality where it was collected from fresh water between the surface and 15cms deep. By day the temperatures reached 35°C, dropping to 23°C at night. Dr. Grant informs me that not only is this the dominant ostracod species but, excepting the Mollusca, it is also the dominant invertebrate. He attributes its success in the agrochemically treated Fields of the IRRI and the rice bowl of Central Luzon to its exceptional resistance to pesticides. Besides the figured material, dry mounted material and spirit material have been stored in Hull and slides containing valves and dissections of soft parts have been deposited with Dr. Grant at the Boyce Thompson Institute, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., U.S.A.

All specimens collected by the British Antarctic Survey. Diagnosis: Shell a flattened ellipsoid in lateral view; greatest height between 1/3 and 1/2 from anterior of shell; dorsum behind point of greatest height gently inclined; anterior of shell more rounded than tapered but still rounded posterior. Juvenile shell with obvious reticulation except around central muscle area. Zahnborsten on 3rd maxillular palp toothed. Right furca without anterior seta; anterior claw on each furca almost twice length of posterior one; posterior seta smaller than posterior claw and placed at some distance from it.

F C4- I H-t - 1 Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 8, 89 Eucypris fontana (3 of 6) Remarks: This species is easily recognised as a Eucypris, possessing the characteristic knobs on the outside of the shell near the anterior margin (where the shell is slightly pinched — best seen in dorsal view); the left valve also overlaps the right ventrally. The position of the selvage and the structure of the inner lamella in E. fontana are also typical of Eucypris species. It is surprising to find that the right furca of E. fontana does not possess an anterior seta — an unusual phenomenon among eucyprididid ostracods. The colour of the shell is green to pale green when preserved in alcohol. Males are unknown. Grafs (1931) specimens from South Georgia are much smaller (1.1mm and 1.25mm) than those from Signy Island (1.45mm to 1.30mm). Such difference is not surprising as it is known that important size differences can be found between populations collected at different times of the year from the same lake. Additional specimens, some undissected, from Signy Island are deposited in the Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) under the following nos. 1981.302 - 308. 1 thank R. B. Heywood for the loan of these specimens. Distribution: Known from the type locality and as collected by the British Antarctic Survey from 3 lakes (Moss, Sombre, Twisted L.) on Signy Island which is some 5° Lat. further south than S Georgia. Details on all 3 lakes and their biota is presented in Heywood, et al. (Freshwat. Biol. 10 47 - 59 1980). It is interesting to note that at least another crustacean, the copepod Pseudoboeckella poppei is also found in the same localities on S Georgia and Signy Island where E. fontana occurs.

Furca with (cont’d.) 2 equal claws and posterior seta longer than anterior one and about half the length of claws. Zenker organ with 13 to 15 rosettes. Remarks: All Reticypris species described from Australia have recently been reviewed by De Deckker, (Trans. R. Soc. S. Aust., 105, 1981). The obvious differences between R. pinguis and all other known species are seen with the dorsal bosses, the denticulated flange on the posteroventral edge of the right valve and the outline of the lobes of the hemipenis. The extent of the dorsal bosses and of the denticulation of the right valve is variable but these features are always present. The significance of these variations is thought to be ecological. The colour of the shell of R. pinguis is pale green. Additional specimens, some undissected and preserved in alcohol, of R. pinguis are deposited in the Australian Museum under the nos. P 32011 - 32012. Distribution: So far R. pinguis has only been found living in Lake George. There, it has been collected at different salinities (16.4%o on 26 February 1981, 35.4%o on 27 March 1981, 24%o on 11 May 1981, 13 9%o on 2 July 1981 and 4.0 %o on 27 August 1981). It is therefore a euryhaline ostracod sensu De Deckker, 1981 (Hydrobiologia, 81/82, 134). Fossil specimens of R. pinguis have been found in a core from Lake George of Late Pleistocene and Holocene age (see De Deckker 1981, unpublished Ph.D. thesis, University of Adelaide). It also has been found in a number of samples of Late Pleistocene age from a trench dug at 2km west of the walls on the lake floor of Lake Mungo, New South Wales (material supplied by J. M. Bowler). It also has been recovered in samples of Late Pleistocene age from a section dug at Baldina Creek, North of Adelaide, South Australia (material supplied by D. L. G. Williams).

Remarks: It was felt necessary to erect a new genus for this species which does not possess the typical features of Cypridopsis: globular shape of shell, denticulation on posteroventral inner lamella of right valve, hirsute (3 bristle on mandibular palp (in N frigogena it is smooth and broader) and pincers on the terminal segment of the thoracopoda II. A major difference between Notiocypridopsis and the similarly shaped (flattened in dorsal view and often trapezoid in shape) Sarscypridopsis and Plesiocypridopsis is that the latter 2 genera have a ventral overlap of the right valve over the left. In addition, the structure of the inner lamellae and the position of the selvage in the latter 2 genera are different from those of Notiocypridopsis. The shell is white in colour when preserved in alcohol. Distribution: Apart from the type locality TV. frigogena has since been recorded from 4 lakes on Signy Island; for details see Heywood et al. ( Freshwat . Biol., 10, 47 - 59, 1980). Material studied here came from Twisted Lake (I thank R. B. Heywood for loan of material which is now deposited in the BM (NH) under the additional nos. 1981.307 & 309). Explanation of Plate 8, 1 04 Fig. 1 , 9 LV, ext. lat.

Horne and Thomas I. Kilenyi (City of London Polytechnic, England). Genus Lindisfarnia gen. nov. Type-species: Cy there laevata Norman, 1865. After Lindisfarne (Holy Island), the type locality of the type species. Carapace generally rhomboidal in side view with prominent marginal rim which is raised anteriorly, flattened ventrally and posteriorly, and forms a caudal process. Surface smooth or ornamented with variously developed pits. Hinge gongylodont with smooth median element. Prominent fulcral point. Four adductor muscle scars in an arcuate row, concave forward, and a y-shaped frontal scar. First antenna with six podomeres. Second podomere of third thoracic leg bearing a distal spine as long as the third and fourth podomeres combined. Dimorphic; male more elongate than female. Male copulatory appendages pear- shaped with prominent, simply coiled ductus ejaculatorius. L. laevata (Norman) possesses a first antenna with six podomeres, not five as in Loxoconcha and Hirschmannia (in which genera it has previously been placed by various authors). It is further distinguished from these genera by details of the hinge structure, and by the shape and arrangement of the muscle-scars. Cythere guttata Norman, 1865 (see Athersuch & Horne, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 8,117- 124, 1981) and Loxoconcha turbida G. W. Muller, 1894 should also be included in Lindisfarnia since they correspond closely to the type-species in details of carapace morphology and soft -part anatomy.

Jones’s type slide in the Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) was found to contain only a fragment of a valve, and we have been unable to find a single specimen to fit the original description and figures which clearly indicate that in dorsal view the greatest width is well behind mid-length. The Recent form referred to tamarindus by Brady (1868) and all subsequent authors is widest at or very near to mid-length, and furthermore is smaller, less strongly ornamented, and possesses more obliquely rounded anterior and posterior margins than that figured by Jones. Consequently we consider L. laevata to be the correct name for the species described herein, and regard the name tamarindus as nomen dubium until such time as material matching Jones’s description and illustration is found. L. laevata does occur, albeit rarely, in the Coralline Crag; apart from being slightly higher in relation to length, both males and females are virtually indistinguishable from their Recent counterparts (see PI. 8, 1 14, figs. 1 - 2). Loxoconcha cuneiformis Malcolmson (Proc. Belfast Naturalists Field Oub: 261, pi. 25, figs. 1 - 2, 1886), considered by Brady and Norman ( Scient . Trans. R. Dubl. Soc., ser. 2, 4, 186, 1889); to be synonymous with the present species, has a more posteriorly tapered lateral outline and is widest well in front of mid-length. Distribution: Recent; a widespread species in the littoral and sublittoral waters of NW Europe from the Bay of Biscay to N Norway (Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) coll.); we have not been able to confirm any Mediterranean records. Quaternary; British Isles (Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) coll, and herein), Holland (Wagner, op. cit., 1957).

Trans. R. Dubl. Soc., ser. 2, 4, 184, 1889) united Loxoconcha guttata (Norman) with L. granulata Sars, believing them to be adult and juvenile respectively of the same species. Both Sars (1928) and Elofson (1940) disagreed with this arguing that the differences in shell sculpture were sufficient to delineate the two species. Elofson, nevertheless, noted the striking resemblance between the two species regarding their appendages, noting that even the male copulatory appendages showed no notice- able differences. From our study of a wide range of adult specimens from British and Scandinavian localities, it is clear that the two forms are indeed conspecific. British specimens show a complete range of variation in ornament, from the coarsely reticulate "guttata" form (PI. 8, 118, fig. 2), through intermediate forms (PI. 8, 122, fig. 1), to the finely punctate "granulata" form (PI. 8, 120, fig. 2) which is indistinguishable from Scandinavian examples of “granulata". In addition, male copulatory appendages of ail specimens examined are identical (text-figs. Id, le). We therefore recognise that both the coarse-and fine-ornamented forms are adult stages of a single species and unite them under the name L. guttata. An examination of the type illustrations of Cythere impressa Baird, 1850 ( non M’Coy, 1844) shows that this species is probably conspecific with L. guttata. The species is placed in the new genus Lindisfarnia (see Horne and Kilenyi, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells, 8, 107 - 1 16, 1981) by virtue of features of both carapace and appendages, including the shape of the shell, the characteristic muscle-scars and smooth median hinge element, the six-jointed first antenna, and the pear-shaped male copulatory appendages. Although both coarse- and fine-ornamented forms occur in British waters, only the fine, “granulata" form is known from Scandinavian localities. At present we can only speculate on the reason for this distribution. Possibly the more robust, coarsely reticulate form is favoured by the longer “growing season” in British waters; in Scandinavia, with shorter summer periods during which water temperatures are high enough to permit reproduction and growth, the species may be restricted to the development of the thinner-shelled, finely punctate form. To the best of our knowledge, L. guttata does not occur in the Mediterranean; any such records, living or fossil, need to be carefully checked and compared with such species as Loxoconcha agilis Ruggieri, 1967 and L. dertobrevis Ruggieri, 1967 (both of which should probably be assigned to Lindisfarnia on the basis of carapace characters). The Black Sea species identified by Caraion (1967) as Loxoconcha granulata differs in the lateral outline of the carapace and in the shape of the male copulatory appendages.

L. Schallreuter (University of Hamburg , German Federal Republic) Subgenus KRUTATIA sub gen. nov. Type-species: Quadritia (Krutatia) iunior sp. nov. Derivation of name: In honour of Miroslav Kruta, Praha (Prague). Diagnosis: Subgenus of Quadritia with four ventral and four dorsal nodes or lobal spines. Remarks: Quadritia Schallreuter ( Geologie 15 (2), 204, 1966) undoubtedly originates from quadrilobate ancestors in which both of the anterior lobes are in each case dissolved into two nodes. In other lineages they are dissolved into a total of only three nodes e.g. Homeokiesowia (see Schallreuter, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells, 6 , 75, 1979) or Polyceratella (Sarv, EestiNSV Tead. Akad. Geol. Inst, uurimused 4 , pi. 22, figs. 9, 1 1, 1959). Quadritia (K.) krausei Schallreuter ( Palaeontographica (A) 153 (4/6), 179, 1976) and Q. (K. ) iunior probably originate directly from the oldest known species of Quadritia, Kiesowia sp. of Henry et al. (Com. Serv. geol. Portugal 57 (1973 - 74), 330, pi. 8, figs. 7 - 12, 1976) (= Quadritia (Krutatia) sp. nov.), from the Llandeilo (Formation de Cacemes, Bucaco, Portugal, and Formation de Postolonnec, Crozon, Bretagne). The latter species is more distinctly quadrilobate but clearly shows the dissolution into eight spines which is characteristic of the subgenus Krutatia. In the type-subgenus (Quadritia the dorsal spines are lost during phytogeny. Of the two known species, the older one, Q. (Q.) octispina (Opik) (Ann. etc. Natur. Soc. Tartu Univ., 43 (1/2), 99, 1937, Publ. geoL Inst. Univ. Tartu, 50, 35, 1937), is more similar to Q. (Krutatia) in lobal morphology and forms a transitional species in this respect (cf. Opik, op. cit., pi. 8, fig. 6, pi. 11, figs. 16, 17, or Sarv, op. cit., pi. 12, figs. 9, 10). Distribution: Upper Viruan and Harjuan of Baltoscandia and the Llandeilo of Portugal and France.

Diagnosis: Species of Eolomatella with two cusps, one in front and one behind S2. Female c. 1.02mm long, ventraliy has two antra or antra-like concavities. Remarks: The species is characterized by having two cusps. In the type-species, E. veterrima (Schallreuter) ( Geologie 16 (5), 622, 1967), only LI is bulb-like and in E. biloba Qvale (Norsk geol. Tidsskr. 60 (2), 105, 1980 ) no cusps or bulbs are developed. Of the type-species of Rozmaniella, R. tersa Melnikova (Palaeont. z. 1978 (2), 72 and Palaeont. J. 12 [1978] (2), 212, 1979), no males are known. (Melnikova op. cit., 73, 212), but the holotype, a supposed female according to Melnikova, more closely resembles the larger larvae of E. bicuspidata than the adult females of E. bicuspidata (cf. Melnikova op. cit., pi. 9, fig. 4 and PI. 8, 134, figs. 1, 2). Like E. biloba, R. tersa lacks bulbs or cusps at the dorsal margin and perhaps the former species is better placed in Rozmaniella if the type of dimorphism proves to be similar. E. biloba differs from R. tersa by the absence of a flat, U-shaped furrow between the postero ventral lobe and the posterior spur seen in R. tersa. The adventral sculptures in Eolomatella are more complicated than in Aloculatia Schallreuter (NeuesJb. Geol. Palaont. Mh. 1976 (4), 230) (here considered a senior synonym of Crenabolbina Qvale, op. cit., 103). Aloculatia possesses a simple velar antrum and does not have a supravelar antrum as was stated by Qvale ( loc . cit.); in this respect it is very similar to Semibolbina Jordan (see Schallreuter, Palaeont. z. 51 (1/2), 1977), the main difference between these genera being that the dimorphism is loculate in Semibolbina and botulate (= non-loculate) in Aloculatia.

Eolomatella bicuspidata (5 of 8) Remarks: In Aloculatia the spine- or spur-like posteroventral lobe is discrete and not incorporated into the dolon. (cont’d.) E. bicuspidata illustrates that likewise in Eolomatella the main part of this lobe is also discrete (PI. 8, 130, fig. 2; PI. 8, 136, fig. 3) and that it therefore represents not a histium but a ventral spine-like crista (= carina). The anterior part of the main adventral sculpture (PI. 8, 130, fig. 3) and its prolongation posteriorly, the outer antral fence of the inner antrum (PI. 8, 130, fig. 2), presumably represents a velum. However, the anteroventral part of the main adventral sculpture (i.e. the part with the anteroventral spur) and its centroventral prolongation (i.e. the outer antral fence of the outer antrum) may be a histium — similar to that in the tetradellids Lomatobolbina vonhachtorum Schallreuter ( Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 8, 51, 1981) and Pentagona veloreducta Schallreuter ( Geologie 16 (5), 621, 1967) in which the velum behind the confluence of the histial and velar flanges is also ridge-like rather than flange-like. But it is not quite sure that it is a histium because firstly of the existence of biantral-dolonate forms, for example Snaidar, in which the only adventral flange forms two dolonate antra side by side (Schallreuter, Palaeontographica (A) 153 (4/6), pi. 41 (8), fig. 5, 1976) (perhaps a result of total fusion of histial and velar flange?); and secondly, there are some similarities with the egorovellids, females of which have an entirely different dimorphism and several adventral ridges with concavities between them which mimic antra (see, for example, Kanygin, Ostrakody ordovika gomoj sistemy Cerskogo, pi. 14, figs. 1, la, 3, 3a, 4, 6, 6a, pi. 15, figs. 8, 8a; Trudy Inst.

The homologies of the velum and histium of the egorovellids with those of the tetradellids are unknown. Explanation of Plate 8, 134 Figs. 1, 2, ant.-dors. incomplete juv.

Stereo- Atlas of Ostracod Shells 8, 135 Eolomatella bicuspidata (7 of 8) Remarks: The ostracod figured by Sarv (Eesti NSV Tead. Akad. Geol. Inst. Uurimused 4, pi. 23, fig. 12, 1959) as (cont’d.) Sigmobolbina illativis (Neckaja) resembles E. bicuspidata but lacks cusps. Qvale (op. cit., 105) placed S. illativis of Sarv in Eolomatella and said it has a distinct dorsal plica (op. cit., 106); such specimens, perhaps therefore, belong within E. bicuspidata. Adult males of E. bicuspidata are unknown; thus the largest figured larva (PI. 8, 134, figs. 1, 2) may represent a preadult female (e.g. see posterior ridge) and not a tecnomorph. The males are presumably similar to the second largest figured larva (PI. 8, 132, figs. 1 , 2). On the left valve E. bicuspidata has (PI. 8, 136, fig. 2) an inner contact semi-furrow and a very small posteroventral marginal flange, comparable to that in Semibolbina and other forms (see Schallreuter, Palaeont. z. 51 (1/2), 37- 38, text-figs. 2, 4.5, pi. 5, figs. 4, 6, 1977).

Name of the type-species + generic name Hithis (= Latin for the Isle of Hiddersee). Gender feminine. Unisulcate; S2 rather long, ventrally obsolete. Preadductorial node rather weakly bulb-like. Postero- ventral lobe distinct, with a spine-like posterior termination; on its ventral side there is a small ellipsoidal shaped faceted area of unknown function. Female velum is a small flange forming a slightly convex dolon extending from anterocentral to centroventral valve region. Laterovelar furrow distinct but rather shallow, continuing posteriorly as a semisulcus. Marginal sculptures ridge-like. Naevhithis is similar to forms like Hesslandella ? stipula Schallreuter (Neues Jb. Geol. Palaont. Mh. 1971 (7), 426, 1971), from which it is distinguished by the presence of a posteroventral lobe, its longer S2 and the presence of a laterovelar furrow.

L. Schallreuter (University of Hamburg, German Federal Republic) Genus USCOPRIA gen. nov. Type-species: Uscopria memoria sp. nov. Derivation of name: Formed artificially by combining letters from the names of the similar genera Unisulcopleura and Conchoprimitia. Gender feminine. Diagnosis: Adults very small (less than 0.5mm long), preplete; anterior cardinal corner much larger than posterior cardinal corner. Unisulcate, sulcus short. Marginal surface rather flat: angle between contact plane and marginal surface distinctly less than 90°. At the border between the marginal and lateral surfaces there is a more or less indistinct retention furrow (Retentionsrinne sensu Schallreuter , Palaeontographica (A) 169 (1/3), 15, 1980). Remarks: The new genus resembles Conchoprimitia but differs by its distinct preplete outline. In this respect Uscopria resembles Unisulcopleura Schallreuter [Mss. Z. Univ. Greifswald 17 (1968) (1/2), 131, 1969 (Preprint 1968)] , a genus in which the marginal surface is rather steep — the angle between the contact plane and marginal surface being about 90°. The higher systematic position of Uscopria is uncertain. The Conchoprimitiidae and Circulinidae both possess a flat marginal surface but an amplete to postplete outline; the Monotiopleuridae, on the other hand, are characterized, inter alia, by a steep marginal surface. Maybe Uscopria best represents the basis of a new family. Explanation of Plate 8, 142 Fig. 1, LV, ext. lat. (paratype, GPIMH 2488, 396 long); fig. 2, RV, ext. lat.

A. Oertli (In: Hollister, C. D., Ewing, J. I. et al. (eds.) Initial Reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project, 1 1, pi. 2, figs. 29, 30, 1972) from Jurassic deposits of DSDP leg 11 in the western Atlantic. This is interesting because Oertli regards sp. A as a deep water, Tethyan species, occurring with bathyal forms Bairdia (Akidobairdia) farinacciae Oertli and Bairdia itatica Oertli. He considers the sediments to be U. Jurassic in age. C. sp. A differs from C. longicostata by having two short additional ribs in the posterior cardinal angle region, and in the apparent absence of the lowermost longitudinal rib. It is also smaller, although the only two specimens recovered may both have been pre- adults. The close similarities in the two specimens suggests a phylogenetic relationship, C. longicostata representing the M. Jurassic praecursor of C. sp. A where it inhabited littoral to neritic shelf environments of the epicontinental sea lying to the north of the Tethys. A westerly migration of C. longicostata into progressively deeper waters, accompanying opening of the Atlantic Ocean from the M. Jurassic onwards, is postulated. Evolution into the C. sp. A form would have occurred over the 10 to 20 million year period, morphological change being only slight because, as Oertli pointed out, the sedimentary environment in which C. sp. A was found was one in which “evolutionary stress” was non-existent. Distribution: A shallow water form favouring a littoral to neritic environment, occurring within sediments of L. to U. Bathonian age at several localities in southern England and northern France.

Kollmann (Verh. geol. Bundesanst., 1, 38 - 45, 1963) has recorded one species, P. schaubergi Kollmann, which ranges beyond the Trias into the Lias in Austria, and Bate & Coleman (Bull. Geol. Surv. G.B., No. 55, 1 - 42, 1975) have recorded an unnamed species from the Lias of the English Midlands. Apart from these, no other post-Trias species are known. The presence of a peripheral carina makes this species similar to the genus Carinobairdia Kollmann, in particular the type-species C. triassica Kollmann. In C. triassica, however, the carina is more strongly and evenly developed and is equidistant from the valve edges, and in some species e.g. C. umbonata Kollmann the carina is developed into a very thick swelling. Other features which place the present species into Ptychobairdia are the low dorsal outline (highly arched in Carinobairdia ) and absence of the bairdoppilate hinge structure which is common in Carinobairdia. P. circumvallata Kristan-Tollmann differs by being larger (holotype length 1.71mm), by the absence of marginal spines and having the surface pitting restricted to that area of shell within the carina only. The single unnamed species recorded by Bate & Coleman is slightly larger (length 1.05mm) and lacks the marginal spines but in all other respects appears identical. It is difficult to say with certainty that this is the same species as P. limbata on one broken specimen but it could certainly represent the British L. Jurassic predecessor. Apart from the English Lias species, P. limbata represents the first occurrence of the genus outside the Tethyan province. Distribution: A shallow water form occurring within M. and U. Bathonian limestones of Normandy. Explanation of Plate 8, 1 52 Fig. 1, car., dors. (OS 1 1 501, 900 pm long); fig. 2, car., vent, (paratype, OS 11546, 680 pm long); fig. 3, LV, int. lat.

All are from the U. Bathonian Frome Clay at the type locality. Diagnosis: Terquemula with four major carinae converging anteroventrally and posteroventrally. Two shorter ribs lie between dorsal and upper median carinae and between both median carinae, in posterior half of shell. Anteriorly and posteriorly the carinae fuse to form a loose reticulation.

Stereo- Atlas of Ostracod Shells 8,155 Terquemula robusta (3 of 4) Remarks: T. robusta is morphologically close to T. bradiana (Jones) but has certain modifications to the basic four- rib ornament which are considered sufficient to merit separate specific status. The short anterior rib present between the third and fourth carinae in T. bradiana is absent; the two short posterior ribs of T. bradiana are much more strongly developed here and are always present (in T. bradiana the lower of the two is variously developed and in some forms absent); the intercostate reticulation of T. bradiana is rather differently developed here — it is a much more open reticulation but the individual murae are much thicker and stronger. There is a tendency, too, for the reticulate network to be restricted to the anterior and posterior regions. It is considered that T. robusta is derived from T. bradiana stock (see Sheppard, op. cit., 1981 for further details). The U. Oxfordian species, T. multicostata (Oertli) (Rev. Inst. fr. Petrole, 12, 667, pi. 4, figs. 146 - 153, 1957) from a boring in the western Paris Basin, again has the same basic ribbing arrangement but has a closer network of reticulation and towards the posterior margin the central carina, and the two either side of it, fuse completely; they do not in T. robusta. Distribution: Known only from the type locality, depths 39.71 - 42.77m, Frome Clay, U. Bathonian.

Sheppard (British Museum (Natural History), London) Genus Angliaecytheridea gen. nov. Type-species: Angliaecytheridea calvata sp. nov. Gender: Feminine. Derivation of name: Latin, Anglia, England, the country of origin + cytheridea. Diagnosis: Small to medium-sized genus of Galliaecytherideinae: subquadrate carapace with compressed anterior and posterior marginal borders, posterior caudal process. Left valve larger than right; in right valve a slight dorsomedian convexity in dorsal margin. Valves overhang ventral margin posteroventrally. Hinge antimerodont; inner margin and line of concrescence not coincident, shallow vestibules anteriorly and posteriorly. Marginal pore canals few, straight, widely spaced. Remarks: The subquadrate shape and compressed margins of this genus are common to many other Bathonian genera. Glyptocythere Malz, 1962 is perhaps the closest genus to it in external morphology but internally differs by having an entomodont hinge and in the absence of vestibules. Galliaecytheridea Oertli, 1957 has a similar male outline but the females are distinctly ovate and there is no caudal process; in Angliaecytheridea the female dimorph retains the subquadrate shape but is proportionally higher than the male. The antimerodont hinge, muscle scar pattern, presence of vestibules and possession of only few marginal pore canals enable Angliaecytheridea to be placed within the Galliaecytherideinae . The genus is, at present, monotypic. Explanation of Plate 8,158 Figs. 1, 2, 6 car.
