Remarks:
Genus Asiacicatricula gen. nov.
Type-species: Saccarchites varius Michailova, 1971
Latin Asia + cicatricula, feminine diminutive of “scar”; referring to its geographical occurrence and dolonoid scar. Gender:
feminine.
Craspedobolbinine with obsolete lobation; lateral surface of valves more or less gently convex overall except for flattened area
adjacent to anterior cardinal corner. Velum seemingly obsolete; position represented merely by a bend at margins of lobal area.
Marginal ridge narrow, rounded at edge, occurs between cardinal corners; separated from lobal area by narrow groove. Crumina
elongate, primarily anteroventral, almost completely assimilated within domicilium, hangs just below ventral margin of valve in
lateral view; dolonoid scar well developed, long, straight. Weakly developed tubercles irregularly scattered over valve surface;
crumina smooth.
The beyrichiacean Family Craspedobolbinidae Martinsson, 1962 embraces those species which primarily have tubular structures
in the velum (occasionally they may be reduced) and a crumina which originates by invasion of the velar tubules, thus leaving
traces of a dolonoid pouch closing mechanism in the form a dolonoid scar (Craspedobolbininae) or a velar edge deflection on the
crumina (Amphitoxotidinae). Saccarchites lacks a dolonoid scar (Martinsson 1963, op. cit., 52). The typical craspedobolbinine
dolonoid scar in Asiacicatricula (PI. 20, 64, figs. 3, 4; PI. 20, 66, fig. 4) not only clearly indicates its taxonomic affinity but it
also implies that the homalogue to the (obsolete) velum must be the bend forming the margin to the lobes in lateral view and that
the uninterrupted ridge below the crumina must, therefore, be interpreted as a marginal ridge. The alternative explanation (i.e.
that the “marginal ridge” is really the velum) would imply that a dolonoid scar could develop as a result of metamorphosis of
part of the lobal area, a phenomenon counter to all known data relating to the formation of the crumina in the Beyrichiacea.

Asiacicatricula varia (3 of 4)
Thus, Asiacicatricula differs fundamentally from other members of the family in that it lacks a velum as such and it has a crumina
which is almost completely assimilated within the domicilium.
All beyrichiacean subfamilies show a simplification of the beyrichiacean carapace (e.g. obsoletion of the lobes and a reduction
of the velum) in their advanced stock (e.g. Martinsson, A., 1962, 1963, Bull. geol. Instn Univ. Uppsala , 41, 1-369 & 42, 1-63
respectively). This trend is clearly confirmed herein in Asiacicatricula, a member of the most primitive subfamily. The simplified,
“advanced” beyrichiaceans are often of upper Palaeozoic age and their distinction, if any, from taxa that have traditionally been
referred to as Paraparchitacea ( sensu Scott, H., 1961, Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Univ. Kansas Press) and Apar-
chitacea (e.g. sensu Rozhdestvenkaja, A. A., 1972, Ostracodes from the Upper Devonian of Bashkiria, Acad. Nauk, S.S.S.R.,
Bashkirian Fil. Inst. Geol., 194pp) is difficult and needs to be resolved (e.g. see Becker, G. et at. 1974, Meded. Rijks. geol. Diest.
(N.S.), 25, 19; Abushik, A.F., 1990, In: Abushik, A.F. et al., Practical Manual on microfauna of U.S.S.R., 4, Palaeozoic

As for the genus, which is monotypic.
In the central lateral part of the lobal area a small, smooth, ovoid spot is very faintly discernable in some specimens (PI. 20, 64,
fig. 2, PI. 20, 66, fig. 1). This may represent an adductorial muscle spot, a feature known from several beyrichiaceans such as
Saccarchites Swartz & Whitmore, 1956, Myomphalus Swartz & Whitmore, 1956, and Bolbineossia Kesling et al., 1958.

ON MALGUZARIA SARVI MICHAILOVA
by David J. Siveter, Elena D. Michailova & Anna F. Abushik
(University of Leicester, England; Institute of Mining, St. Petersburg,
Russia; All-Russian Geological Research Institute, St. Petersburg)
Genus MALGUZARIA Michailova, 1972
Type-species (by original designation): Malguzaria sarvi Michailova, 1972
Diagnosis: Beyrichiacea having both torus and edge of velum as straight, parallel ridges across to anterior part of crumina. Three well
developed lobes; syllobium divided dorsally by curved sulcule, also has a narrow, shallow sulcus parallel and near to its posterior
margin. Lobal area and crumina have fine striation/reticulo-striation; lateral part of crumina also has c. 20 short, narrow ridges.
Supersulcal tubercle present, above preadductorial node. Tecnomorphs have anteroventral pit/depression. Velum appears merely
as right-angle bend between lobal area and adventral parts of valve. Marginal area wide, flange-like, in lateral view.
Remarks: Michailova (1972) placed this genus in the subfamily Amphitoxotidinae, but the Russian Practical Manual on Microfauna
(Abushik, 1990) questioned such an assignment. The subfamilial/familial assignment of Malguzaria within the superfamily
Beyrichiacea is, indeed, difficult to resolve.
Anteroventral depressions are prominent in both amphitoxotidines (Craspedobolbinidae) and beyrichiines (Beyrichiidae).
Indeed, in having a marked anteroventral depression, reticulo-striate ornament, and (two) ridges over the crumina Malguzaria
recalls many amphitoxotidine genera such as Huntonella Lundin, 1968, Sarmatotoxotis Siveter, 1980 and Hogburgiella and
Lophoctenella (both Martinsson, 1962). However, Malguzaria differs fundamentally from craspedobolbinids in lacking a well
developed, tubulous velum. This difference is based on our interpretation of the lateroventral bend (i.e. that bend of the shell
between the latero-lobal and contiguous adventral surfaces) and the ventrally adjacent ridge (PI. 20, 68, figs. 4, 5), both of which
cross the crumina, as homologues of the velum and torus of other beyrichiaceans. This homology implies that the relatively wide
flange which flanks the lobal area is a marginal flange, not a velum.

Malguzaria sarvi (3 of 4)
The marginal flange and type of ornament of Malguzaria is more akin to similar features in various “atypical beyrichiids” (see
A. Martinsson, Bull. geol. Instn Univ. Uppsala 41, 347, 1962 & 42, 19, 1963 respectively; and J. Berdan, Prof. Pap. U.S. geol.
Surv. 730, 24-26, 1972), such as Psuedobeyrichia Swartz & Whitmore, 1956 and Bingeria Martinsson, 1962. Those groups of
beyrichiid-like forms which lack any kind of velar ridge or velar bend but which have a flange-like marginal structure were distin-
guished by Abushik (In: Abushik, A.F., Gusseva, E.A. & Zanina, I.E. Palaeozoic ostracodes from key sections in the European
part of the U.S.S.R., 81, 1971, Nauka, Moscow) as the family Wellerellidae. Pending a thorough first-hand revision of such
forms, many of which are North American genera, at present we prefer not to assign Malguzaria to a beyrichiacean higher taxon.

20, 70, fig. 7). All from the type section; collected by Michailova.
As for the genus, which is monotypic.
The anteroventral depression of M. sarvi undergoes a marked ontogenetic transformation and in all but the smallest tecnomorphs
its morphology is unlike any other species within the Beyrichiacea. In adult tecnomorphs it forms a shallow pit actually within
the anteroventral lobal area (PI. 20, 68, figs. 1, 2, 4, 5). In smaller tecnomorphs it is a relatively deeper, more prominent, but
still enclosed depression (PI. 20, 70, fig. 7). In the smallest juveniles examined (two valves in Michailova coll., Inst. Mines,
St. Petersburg; not figured) this depression is positioned at the anteroventral margin of the lobal area and (typical of all other
beyrichiaceans having this feature) its anteroventral part is not enclosed by the lobal area.
Known only from the type locality, Uzbekistan, central Asia.

ON ANABAROCHILINA PRIMORDIALIS (LINNARSSON)
by David J. Siveter, Mark Williams, Anna F. Abushik, Vivianne Berg-Madsen & Ludmila Melnikova
(University of Leicester, England; All-Russian Geological Research Institute, St. Petersburg;
University of Uppsala, Sweden; Palaeontological Institute, Moscow)
Genus ANABAROCHILINA Abushik, 1960
Type-species: Leperditia primordialis Linnarsson, 1869 (senior subjective synonym of Anabarochilina ventriangulosa Abushik, 1960
and type-species of Svealuta Opik, 1961)
1960 Anabarochilina gen. nov., A.F. Abushik, Vest. Leningr. gos. Univ., (Geol.), 1960, (6), 96.
1961 Svealuta gen. nov., A. A. Opik, Bull. Bur. Miner. Resour. Geol. Geophys. Aust. 53, 174.
Diagnosis: Large, subamplete bradoriids (?); lateral valve surface characteristically smooth and convex. Marginal rim continuous
ventrally, posteriorly and dorsally; demarcated from lateral surface by furrow. Up to three nodes, situated in
mid-anterior to anterodorsal region.
Remarks: Jones & McKenzie (1980, 207) thought that Anabarochilina differs from Svealuta in having its anterodorsal-most node
(Nl) continuous with the rim of the dorsal margin. Based on comparison of their respective type-species we consider
that these genera are synonymous.
Jones & McKenzie (1980) referred Anabarochilina to the Bradoriina Raymond, 1935, a taxon which they held to be
a heterogeneous group of ancestral ostracods and other bivalved crustaceans. In size and overall morphology we
consider that Anabarochilina is at least superficially similar to many leperditicopiids (e.g. see Berdan, J. M., Prof. Pap.
U.S. geol. Surv., 1066-j, 1984). Exfoliated specimens of A. primordialis reveal a network of fine anastomosing lines
diverging from the posterior side of N3 (PI. 20, 72, fig. 1; PI. 20, 74, fig. 1); lines of similar appearance occur in many

leperditicopiids (Berdan 1984, 12, pi. 6, fig. 13, pi. 8, figs. 3, 5), where they originate from the adductor muscle scar
region and have been interpreted as possible impressions of a muscular structure.
The hinge structures of Anabarochilina are unknown. The suggestion that its valves were possibly joined at the
dorsum without a hinge line (Jones & McKenzie 1980) is not supported by the fact that disarticulated valves of A.
primordialis from Scandinavia show well defined straight dorsal margins (hinge line ?).
Distribution: Late middle Cambrian of southern Britain, Scandinavia and Australia and early upper Cambrian of Russia.

Species of Anabarochilina with three mid-anterior to anterodorsally situated nodes separated by furrows. N1 low
relief, subtriangular in dorsal profile, continuous with dorsal part of marginal rim. N2 subrounded and markedly
convex, in lateral view projects over anterior part of marginal rim. N3 low relief, situated immediately behind
N2. Marginal rim wider and pointed mid-posteriorly.
Part 3 of Angelin’s Palaeontologica Scandinavica was never published but several of the plates were printed and
privately distributed in 1854 and 1860 (see Spjeldnaes, N., Geol. For. Stockh. Forh., 88, 407, 1966). These
include Plate A, which has the earliest known illustrations (figs. 9a-c; left and right valves) of A. primordialis.
We consider that Leperditia primordialis Linnarsson, 1869, Anabarochilina ventriarcuata Abushik, 1960 and
Anabarochilina ventriangulosa Abushik, 1960 are all synonymous; holotypes of all three taxa are illustrated
herein. We think that Anabarochilina sp. M. aff. A. primordialis of Opik (1961), which was based on a single
anteriorly incomplete right valve from the late middle Cambrian of Australia, might also be conspecific with A.
primordialis. Opik misinterpreted (1961, fig. 58) the morphology of A. primordialis in not recording the presence
of N3 or the continuous nature of N1 with the dorsal part of the marginal rim. Opik (1961) also stated that A.
primordialis was abundant in the middle Cambrian Solenopleura brachymetopa Zone in Sweden, but we know

of no firm supporting evidence for that supposed occurrence. Moreover, he made no reference to its confirmed
occurrence in the overlying L. laevigata Zone in Scandinavia. Berg-Madsen’s (1985a, fig. 5H) A. primordialis
from the Upper Alum Shale ( Lejopyge laevigata Zone) of Bornholm, Denmark is herein referred to that species
with doubt as it is incomplete and differs in the absence of anterior nodes and in the form of the marginal rim.
Widely documented from the late middle Cambrian L. laevigata Zone in Denmark (Berg-Madsen 1985b), Sweden
(Westergcird 1928, Wallerius 1930) and southern Britain (Nuneaton area; see Rushton 1978) and from the
Aijusakan stage, early upper Cambrian of E. Siberia, Russia (Abushik 1960). Its supposed presence in the under-
lying S. brachymetopa Zone in Scandinavia (see above) has not been corroborated.

Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 20, 79 Cryptophyllus nuculopsis (3 of 4)
The lamellae of C. nuculopsis are typical for the genus Cryptophyllus, contrasting with the morphology of
lamellae in the related genus Eridoconcha Ulrich & Bassler, 1923 (e.g. see Williams & Jones 1990, Stereo-Atlas
Ostracod Shells, 17, 13-18) by lacking adventral ridges. Transverse thin sections show successive lamellae
underlapping previous lamellae, the contact between the lamellae viewed in transverse profile being “v”-shaped
(Text-fig. 1).
In Simpson Group species of Cryptophyllus the morphology of the exposed portion of the lamellae in
transverse profile can be gently concave as in C. nuculopsis, planar to weakly convex as in C. magnus (Harris,
1931), or convex as in C. gibbosus Harris, 1957.
C. nuculopsis occurs in the Bromide Formation together with other eridostracans ( Eridoconcha simpsoni
Harris, 1931 and C. gibbosus) where they characterise open marine shelf environments.

ON NEOAMPHISSITES COSTATUS BECKER & WANG
by Gerhard Becker & Wang Shang-qi
(Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany & Institute of Geology and
Palaeontology, Nanjing, China)
Genus Neoamphissites Becker & Wang, 1992
Type-species (by original designation): Neoamphissites costatus Becker & Wang, 1992
Diagnosis: Amphissitid genus with small but distinct subcentral node, rather conspicuous posterior lobe and
diffuse anterior lobe restricted to the anteromedian part of the valve. Outer carina flange-like;
dorsal ridge and reduced inner carina developed; distinct horizontal ridge, crossing the subventral
node; subdued additional ridge(s) possible. Ridges coarse; carapace surface delicately reticulate.
Remarks: Neoamphissites belongs to the Family Amphissitidae Knight, 1928 (Superfamily Kirkbyacea Ulrich
& Bassler, 1906) because of the presence of a subcentral node. Within the family, it seems closely
related to the middle Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian)+lw/7/?/s,5/Yes' (Amphikegelites) Sohn, 1983 (Bull.
Am. Paleont., 84/316, 12). In Neoamphissites, however, the subcentral node is more distinct; more-
over, a low anterior lobe, restricted to the anteromedian part of the valve, and horizontal ridge(s)
are developed. The latter feature resembles somewhat the Middle Devonian genus Amphizona
Kesling & Copeland, 1954 (Family Arcyzonidae Kesling, 1961).
The genus is monotypic.
Distribution: Upper Permian of China.

Neoamphissites species with three horizontal ridges (inner carina, horizontal and dorsal ridges); an
additional, short ridge may occur anteromedianly (cf. PI. 20, 82, fig. 1 and PI. 20, 84, fig. 4).
Neoamphissites costatus is easily recognizable by the three horizontal ridges: reduced inner carina,
horizontal and dorsal ridges. An additional short, anteromedian ridge is present in the juvenile
specimens available; this may due to ontogenetic or some other form of (non-genetic) variation.
The species is considered to be benthic. The fauna is considered to be from an offshore
environment.
Only known from the type locality, Permian of China.

Genus Sinabairdia Becker & Wang, 1992
Type-species (by original designation): Sinabairdia nodosa Becker & Wang, 1992
Diagnosis: Sculptured bairdiid genus with typical overall bairdiid morphology (outline, contact structures of
free margin) and conspicuous, centrally located hump-like inflation with centre above mid-height.
Remarks: Sinabairdia belongs to the Family Bairdiidae Sars, 1888 (Superfamily Bairdiacea Sars, 1888). It is
characterized by its distinct, subcentrally located carapace protuberance. Petasobairdia of Chen
1982 sensu Chen 1987 (see Shi Cong-guang & Chen Dequing, Stratigraphy and Palaeontology of the
system boundaries in China, Permian and Triassic boundary , 46, Nanjing, University Press House,
1987) is considered to be congeneric material (see Becker & Wang, op. cit., 33).

ON TUBEROSCAPHA OBESA BECKER & WANG
by Gerhard Becker & Wang Shang-qi
(Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany & Institute of Geology and
Palaeontology, Nanjing, China)
Genus Tuberoscapha Becker & Wang, 1992
Type-species (by original designation): Tuberoscapha obesa Becker & Wang, 1992
Diagnosis: Beecherellid genus with lobe-like lateral swellings.
Remarks: Bairdiacea with an elongate, subrectangular to trapeziform outline and compressed or flattened
valve margins and undifferentiated hinges are placed in the Family Beecherellidae Ulrich, 1894. The
best known genera are Acanthoscapha Ulrich & Bassler, 1923 (synonym: Alanella Boucek, 1936)
and Beecherella Ulrich, 1891. Acanthoscapha has its greatest length along the dorsal margin and
Beecherella at the ventral margin.
Taxonomically, the Acanthoscapha-Beecherella group has recently been severely “split” by
several workers. There are, in fact, intermediate genera (i.e. Beecher oscapha Becker, 1992 [ Sencken-
berg. leth., 71, 401] and Corniacanthoscapha Shi & Wang, 1987 [Late Silurian to Devonian Stratig-
raphy and Palaeontology between Tewo and Liqu of west Qinling Mts., China, Nanjing, University
Press House, Pt. 2, 323) or genera more-or-less related to Acanthoscapha (i.e. Sohnia Adamczak,
1976 [ Senckenberg . leth. 57, 343], Rabienoscapha Becker, 1989 and Carenthascapha Becker, 1989
[Geol. Jb. Hessen, 117, 9, 12]). Tuberoscapha Becker & Wang, 1992 also belongs to this group. It
is distinguished from all Acanthoscapha species by the lateral swellings of its valves.

The taxonomic splitting is analogous to that affecting other groups (e.g. Amphissitidae, Tricor-
ninidae and sculptured Bairdiidae) and is a result of the increased availability of material in connec-
tion with intensified studies on pelagic facies. The latter are the realm of the Thuringian Ecotype,
to which the taxa mentioned belong.

ON BULBOSOHNIA BOLBOFORMIS BECKER & WANG
by Gerhard Becker & Wang Shang-qi
(Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany & Institute of Geology and
Palaeontology, Nanjing, China)
Genus Bulbosohnia Becker & Wang, 1992
Type-species (by original designation): Bulbosohnia bolboformis Becker & Wang, 1992
Diagnosis: Beecherellid genus with mid-dorsal hump.
Remarks: Bairdiacea with an elongate, subrectangular to trapeziform outline and compressed or flattened valve
margins and undifferentiated hinges are placed in the Family Beecherellidae Ulrich, 1894. The best known
genera are Acanthoscapha Ulrich & Bassler, 1923 (synonym: Alanella Boucek, 1936) and Beecherella
Ulrich, 1891. Acanthoscapha has its greatest length along the dorsal margin and Beecherella at the ventral
margin.
Taxonomically, the Acanthoscapha-Beecherella group has recently been severely “split” by several
workers. There are, in fact, intermediate genera (i.e. Beecheroscapha Becker, 1992 [Senckenberg. leth., 71,
401] and Corniacanthoscapha Shi & Wang, 1987 [Late Silurian to Devonian Stratigraphy and Palaeontology
between Tewo and Ligu of west Qinling Mts., China, Nanjing, University Press House, Pt. 2, 323]) or genera
more-or-less related to Acanthoscapha (i.e. Sohnia Adamczak, 1976 [Senckenberg. leth. 57, 343],
Rabienoscapha Becker , 1989 and Carenthascapha Becker, 1989 [Geol. Jb. Hessen, 117, 9, 12]). Bulbosohnia
Becker & Wang, 1992 also belongs to this group. It is distinguished from all Acanthoscapha species
(especially A. subnavicula Abushik, 1968) and from the Sohnia species by its dorsal hump.
The taxonomic splitting is analogous to that affecting other groups (e.g. Amphissitidae, Tricorninidae

intensified studies on pelagic facies. The latter are the realm of the Thuringian Ecotype, to which the taxa
mentioned belong.
Distribution: Silurian of China and N. America.

All of the figured specimens are from the type locality and horizon.
Bulbosohnia species with globular hump; dorsal projections located admarginally.
Bulbosohnia bolboformis is similar to Acanthoscapha subnavicula Abushik, 1968 of Copeland 1977 (Bull,
geol. Surv. Can., 275, 40) from the Silurian of Canada. The latter material is probably conspecific.
In Bulbosohnia sp. A of Becker & Wang, 1992 (op. cit., 43), the hump is inconspicuous and the
anterodorsal projection located extramarginally. The Middle Devonian Sohnia sohni Adamczak, 1976
(Senckenbergiana, 57, 344) resembles B. bolboformis in general carapace morphology; however, it lacks
a hump.
B. bolboformis is considered to be nectobenthic. The fauna is from an open marine to basinal
environment.
The species is known with certainty only from the type locality. Probably also occurs in the Wenlock-
Ludlow series, Silurian, District of Mackenzie, Canada.

Acknowledgement:
Assigned to Trachyleberis on the basis of ornament, ocular rib and internal features. Nevertheless,
it has a more rounded posterior margin and is more regularly spinose than is normal for the genus.
In these respects it resembles Henry howella, but it lacks the longitudinal ridges and well-developed
subcentral tubercle characteristic of that genus and in addition has a distinct ocular rib, compressed
anterior and a weak reticulation, features uncharacteristic of Henryhowella. Other similar spinose
deep-sea genera, Legitimocythere and Rugocythereis ( = Pennyella), differ in having a ventro-
lateral spinose ridge in the former, and in the latter a much smaller, more subtriangular valve
outline, mid-ventral snap-knob and a thicker postero-ventral marginal rim.

Genus Lodesia gen. nov.
Type species: Lodesia adiastola sp. nov.
Anagram of the related Delosia Gailite, in which the lobes are similarly fused.
Small genus. Distinctly in front of mid-length and above mid-height, near the dorsal border, there
is a cone-like node, behind which there is a posteriorly curved spine. Node and spine are fused
dorsally and are separated by a slit-like sulcus (S2) in their ventral part.
In having a strongly developed Aechmina-Mke spine and a slit-like S2 positioned at the anteroven-
tral part of the spine Lodesia resembles Delosia Gailite, 1967 (Gailite, L.K. 1967. Ostracodes. In:

ON EOPILLA INGELORAE SCHALLREUTER gen. et sp. nov.
by Roger E.L. Schallreuter
(University of Hamburg, Germany)
Genus Eopilla gen. nov.
Type species: Eopilla ingelorae sp. nov.
Eo+pilla; the genus is considered to be an ancestor of Pilla Schallreuter & Siveter (Stereo-Atlas
Ostracod Shells 15, 25-28, 1988).
Small to medium-sized Pillinae. Quadrilobate; Li and L3 more strongly developed than L2 and L4.
L2 long to very short ( = preadductorial node-like). Lobes broad to narrow, in some cases crista-
like. Lobes connected ventrally.
This genus is distinguished from the other genera of the subfamily Pillinae by the development of
a distinct fourth lobe (L4) in the posterior part of the valve.
Eopilla ingelorae sp. nov.

RV: PI. 20, 120, fig. 3).
All of the figured specimens are from the same sample (WCB 705/46) as the holotype.
Eopilla ingelorae is the oldest known Australian Ordovician ostracod. The Chinese species Eopilla
sinensis, E. sinensis wangi and E. taitzehoensis Hou ( Acta palaeont. sin., 1, 40-50, 1953), all of
which may be synonyms of each other, are characterized by having much broader lobes and a
shorter L2 which forms a preadductorial node.
Known only from the lower Emanuel Formation, upper Tremadoc, at the type locality (samples
WCB 705/46-69).

ON EODOMININA NUELA SCHALLREUTER gen. et sp. nov.
by Roger E.L. Schallreuter
(University of Hamburg, Germany)
Derivation of name:
Diagnosis:
Remarks:
Genus Eodominina gen. nov.
Type species: Eodominina nuela sp. nov.
From Greek Eos, early; the genus is considered to be an ancestor of Dominina Burrett & Laurie (in
Burrett et at., Mem. australas. Palaeontol., 1, 191, 1983).
Small to medium-sized. Two prominent lobes, one in front and one behind S2 ; both occur mainly
in dorsal half of valve and are connected in ventral half; each lobe is dorsally bulb- to spine-like.
Tiny preadductorial node. No pseudovelum.
In contrast to Webby Ha and Pilla (both Schallreuter & Siveter; see Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells,
15, 17-28, 1988), Eodominina, like Dominina, lacks a lobe-like pseudovelum. Dominina is distin-
guished from Eodominina mainly by the development of a prominent, discreet bulb at the dorsal
margin between the two main lobes. Endominina is possibly a synonym of the poorly documented
Sinoprimitia Hou (Acta palaeont. sin., 1, 77, 1953) from the lower Ordovician of Hupeh, China.
The latter genus also possesses two rounded dorsal nodes but no other taxonomically important
features are known.

Distribution:
The main anterior lobe of Eodominina is considered to be Li and the small low node immedi-
ately behind it (PI. 20, 124, fig. 3) is interpreted as a preadductorial node (L2). Moreover, if Domi-
nina originates from Eodominina, the main posterior lobe of the latter must be considered as
equivalent to L4 because in Dominina L3 is developed as a prominent bulb.
