Stereo- Atlas of Ostracod Shell 11, 3 Hippula turris (3 of 4)
Diagnosis: Species of Hippula (Cetona) with S2 distinct, long and sigmoidal, dorsally rather deep. Preadduc-
torial node rather distinct; a relatively broad, conical bulb. Posteroventral lobe strongly developed,
stituated ventrocentrally, ending in a long reticulate spine. Velar flange in males forming an angle
with the lateral surface of about 90°, in females rather obtuse. Torus very broad (transverse), nearly
(9) or as broad (tf) as velar flange. Adult valves c. 1.00-1.13 mmm long (excluding spines). Length:
height ratio 1.60-1.80.
Remarks: Ivanova ( Trudy-paleont . Inst., 172, 36, 1979) considered the cavities of the “histial” flange of the
females of Oecematobolbina as a prototype of the locular type of dimorphism. This is considered
impossible because loculi are always formed on the inner side of the dolon (the antrum), not the outer
side.
Copeland (Bull. geol. Surv. Can., 347, 16, 1982) considered Schallreuter’s subgeneric distinc-
tion within Hippula untenable in the light of his material from the District of Mackenzie, Canada.
In H. varicata he described the “histium” as consisting of three fluted flanges on the heteromorphic
valve, and a single flange on the tecnomorphic valve. He could not observe this phenomenon in the
European material. As shown herein (PI. 11. 2, fig. 2) the males also possess the characteristic torus
with an entervening row of diamond-shaped spaces. Perhaps the North American forms exhibit a
tendency to reduce the tori. Parahippula ventrospinosa (Kraft, Mem. geol. Soc. Am., 85, 1962)
resembles Hippula in having radiating furrows of the velar flange in both dimorphs (op. cit., pi. 11,
figs. 14a, 15, 17, pi. 12, figs. 4, 5, 7 cf. PI. 11, 2, figs. 1, 2). Such furrows could be the rudiments of the
cavities. The missing tori in the tecnomorphs of H. varicata could be explained as an example of
proterogenesis.
Distribution: Known only from upper Viruan Backsteinkalk erratic boulders of northern Germany and southern
Sweden (types 1B1, 1B3, IB 14, cf. R. E. L. Schallreuter, op. cit., 1970), middle Ordovician.

ON SCHALLREUTERIA (LIPPEA) LIPPENSIS SCHALLREUTER
subgen. et sp. nov.
by Roger E. L. Schallreuter
(University of Hamburg, German Federal Republic)
Genus SCHALLREUTERIA Siveter, 1982
1982 Schallreuteria gen. nov.; D. J. Siveter, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells, 9, 93-100, pis. 9, 94; 9, 96; 9, 98; 9, 100.
Subgenus LIPPEA subgen. nov.
Type-species: Schallreuteria (Lippea) lippensis sp. nov.
As for the type-species.
Subgenus of Schallreuteria with only one sulcus (S2) and less pronounced quadrilobation.
The type-species of Schallreuteria, S. superciliata (Reed, 1910), from the Longvillian (Caradoc
Series) of England, is distinctly quadrilobate (cf. Siveter, op. cit.) and is thus considered a more
conservative form. It belongs to the main line of the genus from which S. ( Lippea ) is separated by its
loss of quadrilobation which occured at the latest by the lower upper Viruan (= Hamagian/Soudleyan).
The characteristic dorsal spines of lobes LI and L3 of S. superciliata are also present in 5. lippensis
(cf. Siveter, op. cit., PI. 9, 96, fig. 2).
The main differences between S. (Schallreuteria) and 5. (Lippea) are the same as in the genera
Rakverella and Pectidolon . Therefore, Pectidolon is now considered to be a subgenus of Rakverella.
Rakverella is characterized by special cristae which are not present in Schallreuteria (Siveter, 95).

(?RV : PI. 11, 8, fig. 3). Nos. 2900 and 2902 are from the type locality; boulder collected by the
author in July 1983. No. 2901 is from Backsteinkalk erratic boulder no. G29 (cf. Schallreuter 1983,
op. cit., 165); lat. 57° 18' N,long. 18° 8' E.
Species of S. (Lippea) with LI as a strong, broad dorsal spine, L2 a slender dorsal spine; weak pre-
adductorial node and weak anteroventral node; L3 an elongate lobe with strong dorsal spine and
weak posteroventral lobe-like elevation; L4 a slender dorsal spine and very weak ventral inflation.
Only weak laterovelar furrow. Special reticulation (net standing on pillars), different on lateral
surface and dolon. Females 1.30-1.39 mm long.
The material was formerly assigned by Schallreuter (1983) to Rakverella pectinata (Opik), which
was considered by Henningsmoen (1953) and Sarv (1959) as synonymous with R. bonnemai
(Schallreuter 1976, op. cit., 204). The more abundant and better preserved material now in hand
shows that the material does not belong to R. pectinata and that Henningsmoen and Sarv were
apparently correct in considering that species synonymous with R. bonnemai. The holotype of R.
pectinata is a steinkern, but the size and arrangement of the posterior spines is similar to that of
R. bonnemai.

ON DURINGIA SPINOSA (KNUPFER)
by Roger E. L. Schallreuter
( University of Hamburg, German Federal Republic)
Genus DURINGIA gen. nov.
Type-species: Eurychilina spinosa Kniipfer, 1968
Derivation of name: Duringia, an old name for Thiiringen, the country of the type locality of the type-species.
Diagnosis: A medium-sized, possible genus of the Piretellinae, with S2 long and sigmoidal and preadductorial
node as a distinct bulb. Tecnomorphic velum appears as a row of spines. Females with a strongly
convex tubulose dolon, having a row of spines sited at the border of the lateral and marginal surfaces.
Lateral surface spinose.
Remarks: The presumably tubulose velum places the genus within the Eurychilinacea. The female velum
mostly resembles that of Piretella (cf. Schallreuter, Palaeontographica (A) 149 (4/6), pi. 26(5),
figs. 1, 4, 6, pi. 27(6), fig. 1) but the dolonal spines are missing in Piretella. Another distinguishing
feature is the long sigmoidal S2 of Duringia which is present elsewhere notably in the Oepikiidae
(Schallreuter, op. cit., 175). The assignment of Duringia to the Piretellinae (Eurychilinidae) is
therefore questionable.
With respect to the tecnomorphic velar spines and the female dolonal spines Duringia
strongly resembles Hithis (cf. Schallreuter, Palaeontographica (A), 144(1/3), pi. 17, figs. 1-3, 1973;
Schallreuter & Siveter, StereoAtlas Ostracod Shells, 9 (2) 15, 85-88, 1982), Piretia (Schallreuter,
op. cit., pi. 17, fig. 7, pi. 18, fig. 1) and Bromidella (Copeland, Bull. geol. Surv. Can., 347, pi. 2,
figs. 21, 22, 1982), but in all these cases the dolon exhibits no tubules.

As for the genus.
Kniipfer (1968) in his original description had in hand only tecnomorphs. He assigned the material
to Eurychilina apparently based only on its similarity withE. multipustulosa Swain (7. Paleont., 36
(4), 727, 1962), a species now placed in synonymy with Bromidella spiveyi (Copeland, Bull. geol.
Surv. Can., 347, 32, 1982). The latter species possesses an S2 sulcus developed as a pit (as in
Uhakiella ) and a dolon without tubules (op. cit., pi. 6, figs. 3-8, 20-22).
Known only from the type stratum in Thuringia, German Democratic Republic (localities given

Stereo- Atlas of Ostracod Shells 11, 15 Duringia triformosa (3 of 4)
Diagnosis:
Remarks:
Distribution:
Duringia with diminutive preadductorial node. Narrow depression (= remnant S3?) from postero-
central region to dorsum. Females with weakly convex tubulose dolon, serrated distally. Tecno-
morphic velum as row of spines (juveniles), or ventral flange (males?). Lateral surface spinose and
granulose.
D. triformosa is only the second described species of the genus. The younger type-species, D. spinosa
(Kniipfer, 1968) (see Schallreuter, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells, 11 (3), 9-12, 1984), from the
uppermost Caradoc of Thuringia, closely resembles/), triformosa but for the presence of its dolonal
spines, more convex dolon, and lack of a remnant S3. Only one complete female valve of/), spinosa
is known (1.19mm long), which falls within the large size variation displayed by D. triformosa
(females from Llandeilo Series: 1.08-1.3+ mm long). Like the type-species, D. triformosa has a
tubulose velum, justifying inclusion of the genus within the Eurychilinacea. However, the familial
assignment of Duringia is questionable (Schallreuter, op. cit.). Schallreuter provisionally placed
Duringia in the Piretellinae (Eurychilinidae) because the dolon of D. spinosa is similar but it also has
dolonal spines not normally present in piretellines.Z). triformosa would support this assignment as it
too lacks dolonal spines. However, the sigmoidal S2 of Duringia remains strikingly opikiid-like. The
recognition of a remnant S3 (?) inD. triformosa may indicate quadrilobate ancestry; its familial
assignment is therefore still uncertain.

ON HAMANELLA IMPLEXA FINGER
by Kenneth L. Finger
( Chevron Oil Field Research Company, La Habra, California, U.S.A.)
Genus HAMANELLA Finger, 1983
Type-species (by original designation): Hamanella implexa Finger, 1983
Diagnosis: A genus of Trachyleberididae, subovate to subtrapezoidal in lateral view with uniformly coarse and
extensive reticulum, anterior and posterior ends narrow and comparatively smooth; in dorsal view
the carapace is bullet-shaped with short marginal extensions at anterior and posterior termina.
Muscle scar pattern consisting of V-shaped frontal scar and vertical row of four ovate adductor scars ;
dorsalmost adductor scar acutely angled posteriorly to those below it. Hingement holamphidont.
Remarks: The inclination of the dorsalmost adductor scar suggests an affinity with the Rocaleberidini, from
which Hamanella is otherwise morphologically distinct.

As for the genus. Hamanella is presently regarded as a monotypic genus.
The reversed valve overlap seen in all specimens obtained from Santa Barbara County is of
questionable taxonomic value. I have examined an unnamed form from the Saucesian (lower
Miocene) of adjacent Kern County that displays normal valve overlap and is otherwise not too
dissimilar from H. implexa.

Distribution:
A species of Sagmatocythere with a prominent alar process overhanging the ventral margin.
Reticulae irregular in the alar region and immediately anterior of the eye spot. Free marginal areas
flat and without reticulation.
The close similarity between S. cercinata and the new species has already been indicated, the major
differences being those of size and ornamentation; S. paracercinata is larger (5. cercinata , 360 pm
long) and has relatively and absolutely smaller fossae.
The Loxoconchidae are very diverse in the Upper Pliocene of N W France and St. Erth with
75 species/subspecies belonging to 1 2 genera. Sagmatocythere, represented by 18 species/subspecies
is the most diverse genus of the family. S. paracercinata is abundant in the St. Erth beds (204 adult
valves and 530 juvenile valves) but only one male right valve and two juvenile valves have been
recovered from France.

Stereo- Atlas of Ostracod Shells 11, 27 Sagmatocythere pseudomultifora (3 of 4)
Diagnosis: A species of Sagmatocythere with an inconspicuous alar process and strong reticulation, the fossae
being particularly well-developed in the posterior and alar regions. A wide frill-like flange surrounds
the free marginal areas which are strongly laterally compressed.
Remarks: This species is probably synonymous with S. sp. (Hagn, Malz & Martini, 1981, op. cit.); but the
small illustrations and lack of a formal description for this species render this possibility tenuous.
S. pseudomultifora resembles S. multifora (Norman) in shape and gross morphology of
ornament, but differs in size (Norman’s species is smaller, only 390-395 /xm long) and in its pos-
session of a more regular reticulum and more strongly developed and acute alae. The two species
constitute what are in the authors’ opinion more typical members of the genus than the type-species,
5. napoliana (Puri, 1963) (Athersuch, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells, 3 (21), 117-124, 1976).
Distribution: S. pseudomultifora occurs abundantly in the Upper Pliocene St. Erth beds and is also present in the
deposits of three localities in N W France of Redonian age: Le Bosq d’Aubigny, Le Bosq d’ Aubigny
(Manche) and Le Temple du Cerisier. See J.-P. Margerel, Les Foraminiferes du Redonien. System-
atique, Repartition stratigraphique , Paleoecologie, Nantes I, 1-207, 1968, for geographical and
stratigraphical details of the French localities. The species probably also occurs in the Miocene of
S Germany (Hagn, Malz & Martini, op. cit.).

Acknowledgement:
Sexual dimorphism pronounced, the males being lower and, in dorsal view, narrower than the
females, but of the same length. Differences discussed in detail by Weiss (1983b, op. cit.).
The hinge of each valve is divided into three elements. The terminal elements are dentate
plates (right valve) or loculate sockets (left valve) ; the median element is oblique with respect to the
dorsal margin and the left valve provided with different types of toothlets.
Normal pores are moderately numerous, scattered and of the sieve - type. The sieve - plates
are perforated (approx. 6-12 small pores along the diameter); the setal perforation is eccentric.
Marginal pore - canals are numerous (approx. 40 anteriorly). They reach the shell surface distally of
the flange in two parallel lines. Occasionally a lip is developed around the openings. Line of con-
crescence and inner margin are slightly separated anteriorly and posteroventrally.
The investigated specimens from Tonisberg agree absolutely with Goerlich’s material from
the type-locality of Astrup. Many of the previous records described under this name by various
authors (Reuss 1850, Bosquet 1852, Jones 1857, Speyer 1863, Stanceva 1962, Faupel 1975) repre-
sent different species.

Diagnosis: A subspecies of Cytheridea (Cytheridea) muelleri with anterior end of carapace subrectangular in
dorsal view.
Remarks: Sexual dimorphism pronounced, the males being lower and, in dorsal view, narrower than the
females, but of the same length. Differences discussed in detail by Weiss (1983b, op. cit.).
In every respect, the internal features of the subspecies are very similar to the nominate sub-
species Cytheridea (C.) muelleri muelleri (v. Munster) from the Upper Oligocene of Astrup
(see Weiss, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 11, 29-36, 1984). Only the median hinge element (left
valve) sometimes shows small differences in the shape of the toothlets.
The main difference is the subrectangular shape of the anterior end of the carapace in dorsal
view. Minor differences are observable at the posterior end of the right valves. This end is somewhat
more narrowly rounded and - as well preserved specimens show - provided with four marginal spines
instead of three. Similar to the nominate subspecies the central muscle scars consist of a row of four
undivided adductor muscle scars (the lower three are generally more elongate than the upper one), a
well- developed fulcral point and a frontal scar which is split into a larger posterior and a smaller
anterior part. The frontal scar occasionally shows a tendency to become V-shaped. There are also
two mandibular scars: the upper scar is more elongate and larger than the lower one (Text-fig. 1).

Remarks
Cytheridea pernota (7 of 8)
Sexual dimorphism pronounced. Shell morphotype B (presumed male) more elongate and in dorsal
view narrower than morphotype A. Differences discussed in detail by Weiss (1938b, op. cit.).
In respect of internal features, Cytheridea ( Cytheridea ) pernota is very similar to the type-
species Cytheridea (C.) muelleri (v. Munster, 1830).
Minor differences are observable in the shape of the toothlets of the median hinge element
(left valve) and in the lower mandibular scar. The latter is occasionally divided into two separate
scars. Unfortunately the small number of specimens at my disposal is not sufficient to give general
conclusions on these differences.

Stereo- Atlas of Ostracod Shells 11, 55 Paracytheridea cuneiformis (3 of 6)
Diagnosis: A species of Paracytheridea with very subdued ornament, the alar expansions being reduced to
inconspicuous swellings. The most prominent ornamental features are two ribs, the first running
obliquely from the eye-spot to the antero-ventral margin where it forms an acute angle with the
second which runs sub-marginally back to the anterior of the two alar swellings.
Remarks: A careful comparison of P. cuneiformis (type-species of Xenocythere Sars, 1925) with Muller’s
original description and illustrations of the type-species of Paracytheridea ( P.depressa G. W. Muller,
1894) shows that the two are almost indistinguishable except by the differential development of
their carapace ornament. The appendages of the two species are virtually identical, including
antennulae with five articulated podomeres and antennae with two terminal setae, one long and
chelate, the other slender and reduced. Both species have an antimerodont/weak entomodont hinge,
and there are close similarities in their carapace shape and basic pattern of ornament. Although the
reduced ornament of P .cuneiformis clearly separates it from strongly alate Mediterranean species of
Paracytheridea, intermediate forms have been described from elsewhere; see for example, P.cronini
Hazel, 1983 and P.mucra Edwards, 1944, both illustrated by Hazel ( Smithsonian Contributions to
Paleobiology , no. 53, pi. 28, figs. 1-2, pi. 29, figs. 1-2, 1983). We therefore conclude that Xeno-
cythere is a junior synonym of Paracytheridea.
We have been unable to trace the references to Reuss and Speyer by Brady (1868, op. cit.)
and Sars (1925, op. cit.) respectively as having previously assigned the name Cythere ventricosa to
other ostracod species. Nevertheless the two earlier uses of this name by Bosquet and Kirkby cited in
the synonymy herein clearly demonstrate that the name C. ventricosa Sars, 1866 is preoccupied.
Distribution: Recent: marine, sublittoral (to depths of around 20 m), rarely littoral; coasts of Scandinavia, British
Isles and N W Europe.
Pleistocene: British Isles.

Remarks: So far in the literature the presence of sieve-plates in Atjehella has not been mentioned, but they do
exist and are especially prominent in some specimens of A. kingmai from Darvel Bay. These sieve-
plates are generally sunk below the surface level of the shell and have central openings. Keij (op. cit.,
1979) has mentioned “Within Atjehella kingmai n.sp. we observed Indonesian populations along
the East coast of Kalimantan which possess a more pronounced intercarinal ornamentation
than normally found in the South China Sea”. In the present material specimens both with and
without pronounced intercarinal ornamentation have been observed.

Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 11, 65 Cytherelloidea bonanzaensis (3 of 4)
Species of Cytherelloidea with a distinctive ornament consisting of circular fossae connected by a
reticulate pattern of low muri which is less prominent in the median and dorsomedian regions. The
sola between the muri are foveolate. Scattered conjunctive normal pores present. Muscle-scar area
forms a well-marked depression on the external surface of the valve.
The surface ornamentation of C. bonanzaensis Keij is unique among Cytherelloidea species.
Recent, marine: off Sabah and Brunei in South China Sea (Keij, 1964); Darvel Bay, Malaysia
(herein).

All material from the Trunch Borehole, Norfolk, England (see type locality).
A species of Ogmoconcha similar to O. contractula Triebel but distinguished by its larger size and a
more elongate, triangular lateral outline in which the position of greatest height is distinctly anterior
of mid-length; ventral margin of left valve broadly convex in outline.
Specific differentiation within Ogmoconcha and the allied Ogmoconchella is difficult, but comparison
of the present material with the type specimens of O. contractula Triebel ( Senckenbergiana , 23, 378,
1941) in the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt, demonstrates that two species are present. O.
eocontractula is larger (adults 0.840-0.910 mm long, 0.560-0.630 mm high) than O. contractula
(0.800-0.840 mm long; holotype = X/E1249). The former differs markedly in lateral shape of each
valve, as indicated in the diagnosis, and the two species also differ in range.

Acknowledgements:
Triebel recorded O. contractula from Lias delta (Upper Pliensbachian) in the North German
Hambiihren WA-2 boring at depths of 495-503 m. Specimens identical with O. eocontractula,
deposited in the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt, occur in Hambiihren WA-2 at depths of 509-
607 m. O. eocontractula is apparently an ancestor of O. contractula.
O. eocontractula resembles Ogmoconcha amalthei (Quenstedt ,Der Jura, Tubingen, 1858) in
outline, but when compared with the material deposited in the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt,
they differ in several respects. The latter is highly arched antero-dorsally, whereas the former is
somewhat rounded dorsally. The surface of O. eocontractula is punctate, whereas that otO. amalthei
is smooth, and there is a swollen ventral rim (ventral depression) inO. amalthei which is absent inO.
eocontractula .
O. eocontractula is also comparable with Ogmoconcha '’‘‘amalthei form A” of Michelsen
(Geol. Surv. Denmark, 104, 228, 1975) from Denmark, deposited in the Geological Survey of
Denmark, Copenhagen (DGU-1973-OM-26). There are fine punctae on the surface in both species,
but the posterior margin of the latter is distinctly elongate. Michelsen’s species is closely allied to
O. eocontractula and may be a different subspecies. Michelsen recorded O. “ amalthei form A” from
the Lower Pliensbachian, where O. eocontractula also occurs. No O. eocontractula s.s. have been
recognised in Michelsen’s Danish material.

Donmacythere damottae (1 of 4)
ON DONMACYTHERE DAMOTTAE (COLIN)
by J. P. Colin
(Esso Production Research-European Laboratory, Begles, France)
Genus DONMACYTHERE Griindel, 1976
Type-species: Hazelinal damottae Colin, 1974
Diagnosis: General outline and sculpture similar to the genus Mandocythere Griindel, 1964. Surface of valves
smooth. Well developed median ridge, obliquely oriented, not connected with the dorsal ridge.
Anterior marginal and ventral ridge in continuity. Hinge amphidont. Marginal zones moderately
wide (Vio of length), without vestibulum. More than 35 anterior marginal pore canals, sinuous and
thickened in their median part. Sexual dimorphism well marked, with males more elongated.
Remarks: This genus was originally described as a subgenus of Mandocythere by Griindel, 1976. Veenia
inferangulata Donze, 1972 (Rev. esp. Micropaleontol., 4, 368, pi. 2, figs. 3-9), from the Cenomanian
of the Southern Alps (SE France), was also placed in this genus by Griindel. Weaver (Palaeontogr.
Soc. Monogr., 135, 51, 1982) doubts this assignation on the basis of the observation of “variably
crenulate hinge teeth”.
