Figured specimens: 1984.196, both from the North Sea off Aberdeen (approx, lat. 57° N, long. 00°) were provided by
(contd.) J. E. Robinson. Hancock Mus. no. 1.13.33, from 8 miles off the Durham Coast between Seaham and
Sunderland (approx, lat. 54°55' N, long. 01° 10' W), depth 20-30 fath. (36-55m), was taken from
slide no. 2.11.36 in the Brady collection.
Diagnosis: Carapace finely pitted in dorsal and median areas, smooth or with faint concentric ribbing in anterior
and ventral areas. Posteroventral marginal area strongly compressed in male, weakly so in female.
Anterior vestibulum relatively broad. Distal process of male copulatory appendage relatively large,
semicircular.
Remarks: In his “Monograph of the Recent British Ostracoda” Brady (1868, op. cit. ) recognised two forms in
addition to the trueE. declivis. One of these he described as E. anglica sp. nov. in the appendix of the
monograph, while the other was later described by Brady & Robertson (Ann. Mag. nat. Hist., ser. 4,
3, 370-371, pi. 21, figs. 12-14, 1869) as£. declivis var .prava ; both taxa have been largely ignored
by subsequent authors. Our examination of their respective type specimens in the Hancock Museum
has shown conclusively that they are both valid species (see Horne & Whittaker, Stereo-Atlas of
Ostracod Shells 12, 7-10 and 12, 1 1-14, 1985).£\ anglica is less elongate and more strongly pitted
thanE. declivis, while E. prava is easily distinguished by its posteromedian sulcus. The type slides of
E. declivis in the Norman collection contain specimens of both E. declivis and E. prava. We have
chosen as a lectotype and paralectotype two specimens which correspond closely to the original
description and illustrations of E. declivis.
The Mediterranean records oiE. declivis of G. W. Muller (1894, op. cit.) and most subsequent
authors may be referred to Eucythere curta Ruggieri, 1975 (Revta esp. Micropaleont. , 6, 433-434,
fig. 6 \q.v. for full synonymy). As far as we can ascertain E. declivis does not live in the Mediterranean.
The form illustrated by Sars (1925, op. cit.) appears to lack the posteroventral compressed
area exhibited by British specimens and also differs in minor details of carapace outline and the
male copulatory appendage; we are therefore in some doubt as to whether it is conspecific with
E. declivis. Of Wagner’s (1957, op. cit. ) illustrations of E. declivis, only one can be confidently
assigned to that species, while the others should be referred to E. argus (Sars, 1866).
Distribution: Records of E. declivis require careful re-examination in the light of the above-mentioned confusion
with other species. It appears to be fairly common in marine sublittoral waters around Britain and in
the North Sea. Rosenfeld (1977, op. cit.) recorded it in the Baltic Sea in salinities of 25-30%o.

Carapace small (< 500pm long), conspicuously pitted in median and dorso-median areas, with
concentric ribbing in the anterior and ventral marginal areas. Posteroventral corner somewhat
compressed. Anterior vestibulum relatively broad.
Brady (1868, op. eft.) initially mentioned and illustrated this species as a form of E. declivis, but then
described it as a new species in the appendix of the same publication. It is smaller, less elongate and
more strongly pitted than E. declivis (see Horne & Whittaker, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 12,
1-6, 1985).

Diagnosis:
Remarks:
Distribution:
Species of Piretia with short, comma-shaped sulcus near the dorsal margin. Preadductorial node
bulb-like but flattish. Shape (‘Gestalt’) rather long to long; shape of domicilium very long. A narrow,
low, ridge-like plica occurs along the dorsal border. Velum forms a ridge or narrow flange which
terminates posteroventrally in a short spine. Female has a very strongly convex dolon forming a false
brood pouch. A ridge occurs along the border of lateral and ventral surfaces of the pouch. Lateral
surface reticulate. Adults about 0.8 mm long.
P. commasulcata is distinguished from congeneric species mainly by its elongate shape and its
diagnostic short, comma-shaped sulcus. Piretia erinacea Schallreuter, 1964 (lower Upper Viruan
Backsteinkalk erratic boulders of Northern Germany) differs further in having a row of short spines
instead of a ridge at the border of the lateral and ventral surfaces of the female dolon, its tecno-
morphic velum is developed as a spinose ridge or a row of spines and its surface is spinose and
granulose (Schallreuter, Palaeontographica (A), 144, pi. 18, fig. 1, pi. 17, figs. 5-7, 1973).
Piretia reticulata Qvale, 1980 ( Norsk Geol. Tidsskr., 60, 94), from the Caradoc Series of the
Oslo region, resembles P. commasulcata in having reticulation and a velar flange with an abrupt
posterior termination but is distinguished by its much better developed sulcus, its centrodorsal spine

Remarks:
Distribution:
Species of Kroemmelbeinia with the ‘anteroventral corner’ situated near the longitudinal middle line
and only weakly pointed. Posteroventral corner pointed but not spinose. Adults up to 2.00mm long.
The middle Ordovician type -species, Kroemmelbeinia ala Schallreuter ( Geologie 18, 211, 1969)
(= Beecherellita ordovica Neckaja, 1973; Schallreuter, Geol. For Stockh . Forh. 97, 387, 1975), has
the same shape (length : height ratio) but is much smaller (adults 0.82mm long). Moreover, the
anteroventral corner in K. ala is more pointed and lies more ventrally than in K. valensis, and its
posteroventral corner forms a short spine whereas in K. valensis it is only pointed.
K. valensis clearly displays two stop-pegs in the larger valve (PI. 12, 22, fig. 2). In the last
decade this feature has proved to be very important in the higher taxonomy of Ordovician
podocopes. It is characteristic for Ordovician metacopes (e.g., see Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells 5,
56, fig. 1 ; 7, 76, fig. 2; 7, 80, figs. 1-2; Schallreuter, Proc. VII Internat. Symp. Ostracodes Belgrade
1979, pi. 1, figs. 2, 6, 8, 9, pi. 2, fig. 5), and is taxonomically more important than the general outline
and other features. Thus, it has helped unmask excellent examples of homeomorphy in ostracodes ;
for example, Kroemmelbeinia spina Schallreuter, 1969 has a distinct inner lamella but lacks stop-
pegs and was therefore later placed in Spinobairdia. A second example involves ‘Platyrhomboides’
minimus (with broad inner lamella) and ‘P.’ breviclaustrum (with two stop-pegs) (Schallreuter,
1979, op. cit., pi. 1, figs. 7, 8 and pi. 2, figs. 3, 4).
Known only from the type locality; upper Ordovician.

A species of Glyptocythere in which the carapace shows well developed reticulation formed by fine
anastomosing ribs over most of the lateral surface. The postero-dorsal, dorsal and antero-dorsal
marginal areas are smooth and there are prominent pore conuli in the postero-dorsal area. Five
prominent longitudinal ribs are developed ventrally. Sexual dimorphism distinct, the presumed
females being proportionally higher and wider than the males. Hinge and muscle scar pattern typical
of the genus.

Remarks: Whereas the early Bajocian and Bathonian ostracod faunas of Britain are well known, there is a
dearth of information on higher Bajocian faunas and so a lack of material with which the present
species can be compared. However, on the continent the upper Bajocian Glyptocythere species are
well known; the type-species, G .tuber odentina Brand & Malz, 1962 ( Senckenberg.leth ., 43,
433-435), comes from the Obere Parkinsonienschichten of NW Germany which lies above the
garantiana Zone. There are clearly similarities between the present species and the type-species in
the general pattern of ornamentation but in G. raasayensis the reticulation lacks the accentuation of
the vertical element seen in G .tuber odentina. General shape is similar in the females, but the male
G .raasayensis has a narrower caudal projection. The Scottish species also has five longitudinal
ventral ribs compared with three or four in the type-species. G.regulariformis Brand & Malz, 1962
from the Garantianenschichten in Germany, of comparable age to the Scottish deposit, is much
closer to the present species in the form of ornamentation but has a much more convex ventral
margin. There is nothing else comparable from the garantiana Zone. The slightly earlier
G.praecursor Brand & Malz, 1966 from the Subfurcatenschichten shows similar but coarser
ornamentation and a more convex ventral margin. Other species are less close. Among the earlier
British species G.scitula Bate, 1 965 from the humphresianum Zone is closer than any of the German
species and G. raasayensis could well be a later derivative. The latter differs most obviously in the
better-defined postero-dorsal angle and the straight or slightly convex dorsal margin.

Remarks (contd.): The type locality, near Storab’s Grave, is regarded by Morton (Scott .J .Geol .. 12, 24, 1 976) as
the best in the Hebrides. Here the Garantiana Clay is approximately 2 m thick and lies directly
above the Bearreraig Sandstone Formation. It consists of poorly bedded, structureless medium-grey
clay which is highly fossiliferous and contains the ammonites Garantiana (G.) filicosta and Garantiana
(G.) baculata as well as a large number of small bivalves including prolific A vicula. The microfauna
is restricted to three foraminiferal species (Ammobaculites agglutinans, Frondicularia oolithica and
Lenticulina limbata) and this single ostracod species. The ammonites and all the other fauna suggest
normal marine salinities, but the pyritisation of the ammonites, the small size (less than 4 mm) of the
bivalves together with their pyrite skin and the restricted nature of the microfauna suggest generally
inimical conditions and perhaps somewhat deoxygenated bottom waters. The general aspect of the
fauna suggests a shallow shelf sea with a depth of about 20m.
Distribution: So far known only from the type locality.

Remarks: Since all the original type specimens of this species have been destroyed, the specimens illustrated
herein are designated as a neotype and plesiotypes. Originally this species was thought to belong to
the genus Leucocythere (Wang 1980, op.cit.), but since it appears to be impossible to differentiate
between Leucocythere and Limnocythere on carapace characters alone, it is now decided to place it
in the latter genus. It is considered that the unusual morphological features of this species (asym-
metrical valves and ridges) do not simply result from a salinity change as was originally suggested
(Wang 1980, op.cit.). It should be mentioned that Limnocythere inderica Sharapova, as described
by Kazmina ( Trudy Inst. Geol. Geofiz. sib. Otd., 264a, 1-108, 1975), has a right valve with a peripheral
ridge and a left valve with a ventral ridge, or vice versa, but unfortunately she did not illustrate the
shape of the carapace. In the Danangou section in Yuxian County, Hebei Province, the author found
the carapace of a species with a posterior peripheral ridge in both valves (therefore symmetrical
ones), which was determined as Leucocythere burangensis Huang (Huang Baoren et. al., 1982; in:
Series of the Scientific Expedition to the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau -Palaeontology ofXizang - Book 4,
326-348); again the carapace was not illustrated in that book.
Distribution: Mr. Zhao Lianbi collected 125 carapaces and other single valves from the Nihewan Formation in the
Nihewan-Shixia village section in 1 964 ; the exact location remains unknown. The author collected a
few similar specimens from a yellow-green silt-clay and a green-yellow silt at the type locality
(Xiashagou section) in 1979. The Xiashagou section is located between Nihewan and Shixia and
yielded the famous Nihewan vertebrate fauna of Middle-Upper Villafranchian age (P. T. de Chardin
et al.,Annls Paleont., 19, 8, fig. 2, 1930).

Diagnosis: Carapace elongate, tapering posteriorly; posterior margin with a pointed extremity at about mid-
height. Reticulate ornament consists of relatively large, equal-sized, rounded and polygonal inter-
costal fossae, a few of which coalesce. Reticulum dominated by anterior concentric costa and three
distinct longitudinal costae. Ventral and median costae linked posteriorly by oblique costa. Male
carapace asymmetric; right valve compressed postero-ventrally, with ventral costa not developed
posteriorly. Distal process of male copulatory appendage lamellar, subtriangular, truncated
terminally.
Remarks: H. rubra (G. W. Muller, 1894), from the Mediterranean, is very similar to H .emaciata . However,
H. rubra is more quadrate in carapace outline, more truncate posteriorly and the ventral costa is
more prominent and not linked posteriorly to the median costa. The sexual dimorphism of the male
right valve is strong in H. emaciata but only weakly developed in H. rubra. The distal process of the
male copulatory appendage of H. rubra is distally pointed, while that of H. emaciata is relatively
broader and distally truncate (this comparison is based on Elofson’s ( op.cit . ) illustration of the male
copulatory appendage of H .emaciata as well as on our single, damaged specimen). For further
discussion of H. rubra see Athersuch & Horne {Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 12, 45-48, 1985).
Specimens identified as Falunia (Hiltermannicythere) emaciata from the Miocene of Turkey
by Doruk (1973, unpublished Ph.D thesis. University of Leicester) correspond well to our Recent
examples of the species and her material is regarded as conspecific.
Distribution: The distribution of both living and fossil species of Hiltermannicythere in NW Europe needs
reappraisal. H. emaciata appears to live in shallow sublittoral waters around the coasts of England,
Wales and Ireland. Recent Mediterranean records should probably be referred to H. rubra (G. W.
Muller). H. emaciata has also been recorded from the Pleistocene of Great Britain (Brady, Crosskey
& Robertson, op. cit.) and the Miocene of Turkey (Doruk, op.cit.).

forming small clusters and frequently coalescing. Reticulum dominated by median and ventral
longitudinal costae, which are not linked posteriorly or only weakly so. Seen internally, hinge line
slightly below dorsal margin. Distal process of male copulatory appendage triangular, lamellar, with
a curved, pointed prolongation at its anterior corner.
H. rubra closely resembles H.emaciata (Brady, 1867) but differs in details of shape and ornament,
particularly the disposition of the costae, and in the nature of the adult sexual dimorphism (see
Athersuch & Horne, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 12, 39-44, 1985). The sexual dimorphism of the
right valve, conspicuous in H.emaciata, is only weakly developed in H. rubra. Furthermore, on the
basis of the limited number of specimens of the two species that we have seen, it appears that in
H. rubra the male is the larger dimorph, while in H.emaciata the reverse is true.
Falunia capsula Uliczny, 1969 (Hemicytheridae und Trachyleberidae (Ostracoda) aus dem
Pliozdn der Insel Kephallinia , Dissertation, Univ. Munich) and Cythereis rubra pontica Caraion,
1967 [ Fauna Republicii Socialiste Romania, 4, Crustacea, pt. 10 (Ostracoda)-, Fam. Cytheridae
(Ostracode marine §i salmastricole), 1-164, Bucarest] also appear to be very similar to H. rubra but
require detailed examination before they can be assigned with certainty to this species. We consider
that the larger size of the specimens reported by Bonaduce et.al. (1976, op.cit.) is not a sufficient
difference to preclude them from being referred to this species.
Recent of the Mediterranean: Cyprus (herein),
Greece (Barbeito-Gonzalez, op.cit.), Italy (Muller;
Bonaduce et al., op.cit.)-, ? Black Sea (Caraion,
op.cit.). ?Pliocene of Greece (Uliczny, op.cit.).
Because of the similarity of this essentially Mediter-
ranean species to H.emaciata, all the records of both
species require further investigation before their full
geographical and stratigraphical distribution can be
ascertained.

ON BREPHOCHARIEIS COMPLICATA (Salter)
by David J. Siveter
(University of Leicester , England)
Genus BREPHOCHARIEIS gen. nov.
Type-species: Beyrichia complicata Salter, 1848
Greek brephos, embryo + charieis, beautiful; resemblance of LI + L2 to a foetus. Gender feminine.
Quadrilobate tallinnelline. Lobes stout, equally elevated except for depressed dorsal half of L4,
confluent with an evenly curved, rounded connecting lobe sited very close to velum in lateral view;
laterovelar furrow virtually lacking. L2 short, straight, slopes towards the end of the posteriorly
reflexed dorsal part of LI. L3, LI and, to a lesser extent L4 have cusps above the dorsum. Sulci
(S1-S3) well developed, as is infravelar antral dimorphism. Female dolon moderately wide, extends
from near anterior cardinal corner to below S2, continues posteriorly (as in tecnomorphs) as a fine
ridge along ventral part of the valve.
The combined nature of its adventral structure, dimorphism (resembling that of the type-genus
Tallinnella) and lobation indicate the tallinnelline affinities of Brephocharieis. However, it is readily
distinguished from other, mainly middle Ordovician Baltic genera of the Tallinnellinae Schallreuter,
1976 ( Palaeontographica (A), 153, 165; also R. E. L. Schallreuter, Geologie, 15, 200, 1966). Like
Tetrada, brephocharieis lacks the distinctive laterovelar furrow (and very prominent velum) found
in Tallinnella Opik (type-species: T. dimopha Opik.j Publ. Geol. Inst. Univ. Tartu., 50, 24, 1937).
Brephocharieis is distinguished from Tetrada Neckaja (type-species: T. memorabilis (Neckaja,
1953); see R. E. L. Schallreuter Palaeontographica (A), 153, 166. 1976) by its more clearly differ-
entiated quadrilobation and connecting lobe, more prominent antral dimorphism and its ventrally
present velum in both dimorphs .Homeokiesowia Shallreuter ( Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells , 6. 75-
78, 1979) differs in having dissolved lobes, no connecting lobe and a wide, distinct velum.

Lectotype: Designated herein [the neotype designation of Pribyl (1966, 206) is invalid], A left valve
tecnomorph ( not heteromorph as stated by Pribyl 1979, 143) ; internal and external moulds on rock
pieces of British Geological Survey Museum, London, nos. GSM 24525 and GSM 24526 (= part
and counterpart) respectively. The internal mould was figured by Jones 1855 (pi. 6, fig. 3) and Pribyl
1979 (pi. 3, fig. 1). The original of ‘Beyrichia’ complicata of Jones 1855, pi. 6, fig. 4 (= a
tecnomorphic right valve internal mould) is also on GSM 24525. From Llan Mill (see ‘Type locality’).
The specimens of Jones on GSM 24525 and 24526 are part of Salters 1848 syntype
collection: they were considered as “lectosyntypes” by Stubblefield (op. cit.) and Harper (op. cit) ;
furthermore, the pieces were catalogued in 1848 (Museum labels) and Jones (1855, 163, 164)
acknowledges Salters’ help and the use of ‘Museum of Practical Geology’ (= GSM) specimens.
The specimens of ‘Beyrichia’ complicata of Jones 1855, pi. 6, figs. 1, 2 are wax casts of left
and right valve tecnomorphs respectively, now in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.), London, no.
I 6323; the original external moulds, from Llan Mill, have not been identified but the probability is
that they were also taken from amongst the many external moulds on the original slabs held by the
British Geological Survey. Topotype rock piece GSM 24527, containing the original of Harper 1947
(op. cit., pi. 10, fig. 3 = a heteromorphic left valve internal mould), is also possibly syntype material
(Stubblefield 1938). GSM 24525, 24526 and 24527 contain tens of moulds of B. complicata.

Xo Harper op sis scripta (Harper, 1947); see C. R. Jones & D. J. Siveter, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod
Shells , 10, 5-12, 1983. Museum label and catalogue information claim the original of Jones 1855
pi. 6, fig. 5, is British Museum (Nat. Hist.) no. I 6325, a single larval quadrilobate palaeocope also
from Harnage. As Jones states (1855,1 64) that the original is in the ‘Museum of Practical Geology’,
the specimen in the British Museum is considered not to be the figured specimen.

All specimens are silicified; obtained by acid preparation of limestone from the old quarry

4°05'W (Nat. Grid Ref.: SN 5655 2070). Llandeilo ‘Flags’, Llandeilo Series, Ordovician.
As for the genus. Brephocharieis is at present monotypic.
‘Beyrichia ’ complicata was the first ostracode species erected from the British Ordovician (Siveter
1978, 41). Within the silicified material described herein there is notable size variation (mixed
chronodemes/ecodemes?) of females (length, including dolon: c. 1900-2270pm) within a single,
acid prepared sample (e.g. PI. 12, 54, figs. 1, 3 cf. PI. 12, 56, fig. 1). Moreover, some of the smaller
females (PI. 12, 56, fig. 1) appear to have relatively more constricted lobes (possibly a factor of size
or preservation). A tendancy to develop more constricted lobes (not quite cristation) is also seen in
younger instars (e.g. PI. 12, 56, fig. 5).
Llandeilo Series around Narberth and Llandeilo, S Wales. The range has now been extended (C. Jones,
in prep.) to include the upper Llanvirn and the Costonian Stage, Caradoc Series of that area.

Henningsmoenia species with a small, bulb-like preadductorial node. Plica weak, only developed
either side of sulcus. Posteroventral crista short, posterior end spine-like, merges with valve
posterior to sulcus. Adult male and female similar in lateral view. Anterocentrally female velum
follows a S-like course. Female torus strong; broad dolonal botulate antrum; tecnomorphic torus
weak to absent. Right valve with a narrow ridge proximal to the free margin. Primary surface
ornament pustulate; second-order ornament a fine reticulation, often missing.
The fine reticulation of Henningsmoenia gunnari is illustrated for the first time herein. In early
juvenile specimens the crista is represented only by a weak posterior spine. This juvenile crista is
similar to that seen in the female of Henningsmoenia billingensis Schallreuter (op. cit., 95, fig. 3,
1984) from the Upper Dalby Limestone (= Idavere Stage). In Henningsmoenia costa Orr (Stereo-
Atlas of Ostracod Shells , 12, 61-68, 1985), from the upper Ordovician, the crista is complete to the
anterodorsal margin.

Stereo- Atlas of Ostraeod Shells 12, 63 Henningsmoenia costa (3 of 8)
Remarks: Henningsmoenia costa is the youngest recorded species of the genus. The older species assigned to
the genus display a progressive elongation of the crista on the wing-like posteroventral structure. In
H. billingensis Schallreuter (Geol. For. Stockh. Forh., 106, 95, 1984), from the upper Member of the
Dalby Limestone (Idavere [Cm] Stage), only a short posterior spine is present. In the type-species,
H. gunnari (Thorslund, 1948) from the Skagen Limestone (Johvi [ Di ] Stage; overall stratigraphic
range = Idavere to Keila [Dn] Stage), the short crista extends from the posterior spine to posterior
of the sulcus (see Orr, Stereo-Atlas of Ostraeod Shells, 12, 57, 1985). In H. costa this restricted
crista has developed into a long ridge which extends to the anterodorsal border. On first examination
this ridge might appear to be histial in position. However, a closer examination of some specimens
(see PI. 12, 64, figs. 4, 5, and PI. 12, 68, figs. 1, 2) reveals that between the ridge and the velum there
is a bend in the histial position.
The oldest specimens of H. costa are from the lower Member of the Portrane Limestone
(loc. F, bed 48) of Pirgu [Fic] age. Thus, there is a long stratigraphic interval between the youngest
record of//, gunnari and the introduction of//, costa. In terms of its lateral morphology and strati-
graphic distribution (Nabala [Fia] to Lower Pirgu [Fic] Stage) ‘Ordovicia’ pictis Neckaja ( Trudy
VNIGR1, 115,1 958) would appear to partly fill this gap. However, even though the exact nature of
its female dimorphic structures are unclear, both Schallreuter (Palaeontographica , (A), 178, (1/3),
34, 1982) and Gailfte ( Ordovician Latvia, 120, 1982, Riga) assign the species to Sigmobolbina
Henningsmoen. According to this interpretation ‘O’ .pictis represents an homeomorph oiHennings-
moenia.H. costa is homeomorphic with other, approximately contemporaneous species such as the
Baltic Naevhithis naevus Schallreuter ( Stereo-Atlas of Ostraeod Shells, 8, 137-140, 1981) and
? Pelecybolbina kolkaensis Gailite (In: Grigelis, A. A. (Ed.): The fauna and stratigraphy of Palaeo-
zoic and Mesozoic of Baltic and Byelorussia, 61, 1975, Vilnius). The female of H. costa has the
anteroventral step to the velum also seen in H. gunnari and N. naevus. However, A. naevus lacks the
crista and torus which are indicative of Henningsmoenia .

Remarks (contd.): In//. gunnari and H. billingensis the distal edge of the velum is split ventrally to provide a ridge-like
torus. In H. costa a clear corresponding feature is not immediately apparent, but in female specimens
the distal end of the velum is much thicker than in the tecnomorphs (see especially PI. 12, 66, fig. 1).
This thickened velar border probably corresponds to a separate velum and torus, but because of the
coarseness of the silicification the individual ridges have coalesced. In one specimen (PI. 12, 68,
fig. 3) three narrow contiguous ridges are visible and may represent one velar and two toric ridges.
A further difference between//, costa and H. gunnari is the nature of the contact margin. In
H. gunnari the right valve has a contact list and an admarginal ridge and the left valve an inner semi-
sulcus. By contrast in H. costa the right valve has a marginal ridge and the left valve an admarginal
ridge (see Text-fig. 2). The precise contact structure present in H. billingensis is unknown.
‘Sigmobolbina’ cuneata Abushik & Sarv ( Paleontologija Drevnego Palaozoja Pribaltiki i
Podolii, 107, pi. 2, figs. 6-8, 1983), from the Molodovo Stage (= Nabala Stage), may also belong to
Henningsmoenia , though in this species there is no distinct crista and it more likely belongs in
Naevhithis .

ON TYRRHENOCYTHERE AMNICOLA (SARS)
by Timothy R. Maness & Roger L. Kaesler
(University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, USA)
Genus TYRRHENOCYTHERE Ruggieri, 1955
Type-species (by original designation): Tyrrhenocythere pignattii Ruggieri, 1955 (= Cythere amnicola Sars, 1888)
1955 Tyrrhenocythere gen. nov. G. Ruggieri; J. Paleont., 29 (4), 698.
Diagnosis: A genus of Hemicytheridea, subrectangular, subtrapezoidal, or auriform in lateral view. Eye tubercle
distinct. Anterior vestibule partitioned into pockets; each pocket is the base of a fan-like bundle of
radial pore canals. Muscle-scar pattern consists of a row of four adductor scars, dorsomedian scar
divided, ventromedian scar usually divided; lone, sometimes divided, scar located dorsomedially ;
oblique row of three frontal scars anterior to adductors.
Remarks: The peculiar vestibule is the outstanding distinguishing feature of this genus. The appendages are
typically hemicytherid and were well illustrated by Sars (1888).

Stereo- Atlas of Ostraeod Shells 12, 75 Paranotacythere magnifica (3 of 4)
Remarks: The lower Hauterivian Paranotacythere (P.) magnifica differs from the upper Hauterivian P.costata
(Kaye) in the absence of thick and rounded ventral ribbing. P.costata also has a much less prominent
dorsal tubercle and reduced reticulation compared with P. magnifica. P. ramulosa (Sharapova),
which is first found in Bed C3, upper Hauterivian at Speeton, differs only in having two large
tubercles in the anteroventral region which replace the uppermost ventral rib. This suggests that
P. ramulosa is related to P. magnifica and is probably derived from it by loss of the ventral rib and
addition of the two anteroventral tubercles.
Distribution: P.(P.) magnifica is rare and has so far only been obtained from Bed C9A in the Speeton Clay of the
coastal section, E Yorkshire, England. Over two dozen specimens have been recovered. The
lithology is a dark grey, sideritic clay and common ostraeod associates include Schuleridea punctatula
(Roemer), Protocythere triplicata (Roemer), Protocythere hechti Triebel and Acrocythere
hauteriviana (Bartenstein).
