Schuleridea hammi (3 of 4)
Remarks: In side view valves taper markedly posteriorly and are strongly pitted. Eye tubercle weak and hinge
structure relatively weak compared with other species of Schuleridea
Distribution: This species is characteristic of the Upper Barremian of Britain and N. Germany. In Germany it ranges up
into the Lower Aptian and has been recorded from beds placed in the lowest Aptian at Speeton in the
North of England; so far it has not been noted in the Aptian of S. England. Recently, E. Kemper (1975
Ber. Naturhist. Ges. 119, 54 - 55 et al.) has recorded it from the higher Aptian nutfieldensis and
melchioris zones in boreholes west of Peine in the centre of the basin north and east of Hannover. In
Denmark, O. B. Christensen (1973 Geol. Sun1. Denmark III Series 40, 1 15) has noted it in the Upper
Barremian of the N0vling No. 1 well in Central Jutland.

Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 6, 7
Cativella bensoni (3 of 8)
Diagnosis: Adults with heavy reticulate ornamentation in which small tubercles develop at the junction of ridges. A
main row of some seven squarish spines occurs antero-ventrally and about 10 prominent spines lie sub-
parallel to the length posteriorly, of which the postero-ventral are the longest. Copulatory appendage
distinctive with hemipenes triangular and showing sigmoidal curvature. Brush organ well developed.
Antenna with well developed elliptical club-shaped sensor and two-jointed exopodite.
Remarks: Material kindly sent me by Dr. Ensor of the University of Canterbury, New Zealand enables the soft
parts to be figured for the first time. This was collected from 67 metres through a hole in the Ross Ice
Shelf at White Island (78°4'S, 167°25'E), the bottom being steeply sloping and a mixture of basaltic fine
gravel and cobbles heavily encrusted with hydroids and bryozoa. Benson (1964) obtained a single RV in a
core from 448 metres in the same general area. Chapman (1916) also recorded this species (as
C. polytrema ) in this area from raised deposits on the slopes of Mt. Erebus. The type material of
C. bensoni comes from Halley Bay on the other side of Antarctica. Brady (1880) found a few valves at
Prince Edward Island, mostly juveniles, but one, corresponding in size to the penultimate instar, shows
adult type ornamentation. At present there are no grounds for excluding this from the present species.
Juveniles are lightly calcified and ornamented and are fully described in Neale (1967). If one excludes
Benson’s single RV, all the material came from depths between 67 and 206 metres and the species may be
regarded as essentially neritic.

Figured specimens: 1978.456, 466 are from the type locality. 1978.457, 459 are from Discovery station 8521, haul 1; lat.
(contd.) 20°46.9' -20°47.6'N, long. 18°53.4' - 18°53.5'W; depth 3053 - 3058m. 1978.458 is from station 8532,
haul 1 ; lat. 13°47.8'- 1 3°48.0'N, long. 18°14.0'- 18° 14.8'W; depth 3 1 13 - 3 1 19m.
Diagnosis: A species of Zabythocypris with an acutely-tapering dorsal spine; angle between spine and postero-dorsal
margin <90°. Vibratory plate of fifth limb with three naked, proximally-segregated setae; furca of male
with two subterminal setae; copulatory appendages distinctive.
Remarks: Maddocks (1969, Bull. U.S. natn. Mus. 295 : 102 - 110) introduced the genus Zabythocypris with ?
Bythocypris heterodoxa Chapman (1910, J. Linn. Soc. 30 : 429, pi. 56, fig. 20a, b) as the type species.
Also included in the genus were Bairdia exaltata Brady, 1880, Zabythocypris ancipita Maddocks, 1969
and Z. helicina Maddocks, 1969. All of these species show a close affinity to Bythocypris in the general
shell structure and, where known, details of the appendages, but only those specimens regarded by
Maddocks as Z. heterodoxa bear a dorsal spine on the left valve. We regard this character alone as
diagnostic of the genus Zabythocypris. The other three species, therefore, should be excluded from
Zabythocypris and be placed either in Bythocypris or in another, new, genus.
Maddocks (1969) illustrated two specimens (a male from Peru, fig. 56C, and a female from
Mozambique, fig. 56B) both exhibiting the characteristic dorsal spine, and referred them to Z. heterodoxa
(Chapman). She regarded these specimens as belonging to different sub-species, and the holotype
illustrated by Chapman, 1910 as a juvenile. Both differ in size and shape from Chapman’s specimen and
from each other. We believe, particularly in view of their great geographic separation, that Maddocks’
specimens differ enough from each other and from the holotype of Z. heterodoxa to be regarded as
separate species.
Distribution: Known only from foraminiferal ooze at Discovery stations 8521, 8528 and 8532 on the continental rise
off NW Africa at depths of 3053 - 3 155m.

Paijenborchellina alata (3 of 4)
Diagnosis: Species of Paijenborchellina possessing short, stout, alae; posterior part of alae more strongly developed
than anterior part. Carapace surface almost smooth with weak reticulations and pitting antero-ventrally,
postero-dorsally. Dorsal margin upraised and thickened.
Remarks: P. alata sp. nov. is the only Recent, smooth, alate Paijenborchellina recorded and cannot be confused with
any previously described species. The males are more elongate, with less distinct alae than the females; the
alae are also unequally developed in both dimorphs with the left valve ala tending to be more strongly
developed. Hinge antimeridont, not truly characteristic of the Cytheruridae (where the hinge is
peratodont) into which family this genus is normally placed. The adductor muscle scars are situated
within a shallow depression that is reflected on the outside of the shell by a muscle scar node that is
tuberculate in some individuals. Twelve long, straight, marginal pore canals are present around the anterior
margin. Caudal process in -1 instar of variable length. The muscle scars are shown clearly in this species:
the lower adductor muscle scar is unusually offset to the rear with respect to the other three. The crescent
shaped frontal muscle scar is particularly large.
Distribution: P. alata is restricted to the calm waters of the Abu Dhabi lagoon where it occurs on fine terrace sediments.
This is reflected in the morphological appearance: smooth shell and ventrolateral alae. It is presently only
recorded from the Abu Dhabi lagoon although it is almost certainly to be found in similar lagoonal
environments along the Trucial coast; it is not found outside on the near shore shelf sediments where it is
replaced by a recticulate species of Paijenborchellina (see Gurney, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 1979 6
Pt. 2, in press).

Diagnosis: Outline rounded subrectangular, with well-marked cardinal angles and a prominent anterior marginal rim.
Surface covered with shallow pits which become less dense and decrease in size towards margins. One
spine postero-ventrally, most strongly developed in right valves. Anterior marginal pore canals 8 - 9
simple, short and straight; posterior canals not observed.
Remarks: Distinguished from G. volgaensis (Lyubimova) ( Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells, 1979, 6 (9)) by being
generally more inflated and lacking anterior spines. G. miranda (Lyubimova) ( Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod

Remarks: Sharapova (1939) identified her material with Cythere corrosa var. grossepunctata described by
Chapman (1904) from the Bajocian of Western Australia. Subsequently, Lyubimova (1955) followed
this specific identification for specimens from Gorodische on the River Volga, placing them in
Palaeocytheridea Mandelstam. The present material differs from the drawings given by Lyubimova only in
its possession of a finer, more widespread surface punctation. The Russian material is certainly not
conspecific with Chapman’s Australian form, and thus the name Galliaecytheridea gorodischensis is
proposed. Permyakova (in D. M. Pjatkova and M. N. Permyakova, Jurassic Foraminifera and Ostracoda of
the Ukraine, Kiev, 1978, p. 153. In Russian) has placed this species in Procytheridea Peterson [as
P. grossopunctata (Sharapova 1939)] , but inspection of the holotype of the type-species of Procytheridea
(P. F. Sherrington and A. Lord, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 2: 39, p. 48, fig. 1, 1975) demonstrates
that the two are not congeneric.

Galliaecytheridea gorodischensis (7 of 8)
Remarks: Cythere corrosa var. grossepunctata and C. drupacea var. fortior are both forms described by Chapman
(contd.) which B. Kellett and E. D. Gill (Aust. J. Sci. 18, p. 126. 1956) have subsequently regarded as dimorphs of
the same species. They placed the species in Procytheridea, but the assignment is difficult to verify in the
absence of internal characters. Chapman’s illustrations depict an ostracod which differs in outline and
ornament from the present material.
G. gorodischensis is found in association with G. miranda (Lyubimova), G. ramosa (Lyubimova),
G. elegans (Sharapova), G. mandelstami (Lyubimova), Mandelstamia ventrocomuta (Sharapova),
Oligocythereis kostytschevkaensis (Lyubimova), Protocythere prolongata (Sharapova) and Cytherelloidea
aff. C. weberi Steghaus.
Distribution: Lower and Middle Volgian at Gorodische. A similar form occurs in the Middle Volgian of Kashpir
(immediately south of Syzran on the River Volga and 200 km south of Gorodische) but has more anterior
marginal pore canals. Known from the Volga region and the Ukraine.

Mandelstamia ventrocornuta (3 of 4)
Diagnosis: A species of Mandelstamia with characteristic features of genus, but inner margin and line of
concrescence do not coincide anteriorly and a narrow vestibule is present. Surface ornamented with an
open reticulate network; postero-ventral protruberance present. Marginal pore canals simple and straight,
10 anteriorly and 7 posteriorly. Sexual dimorphism not recognised.
Remarks: Mandelstamia abdita Lyubimova, 1955 has a similar ornamental pattern, but differs in shape and in the
possession of a strong mid- to postero-ventral spine. M. facilis Lyubimova, 1955 lacks any postero-
ventral features, although it does have a reticulate ornament. In our material a single carapace of M. facilis
occurred and this closely resembled Lyubimova’s illustrations {op. cit., pi. VII, figs. 2a, b), but both
specimen and illustrations could well be female although no obvious male counterpart was recognised.
Inner margin and line of concrescence usually coincide in Mandelstamia, but in M. ventrocornuta and in
M. sexti Neale, 1961 from the Speeton Clay (Lower Cretaceous) of England a narrow anterior vestibule is
present.
Distribution: The type material was from the Virgatites virgatus and D. panderi Zones (Middle Volgian) and Lyubimova
(1955) records the species from Oxfordian to mid-Volgian. At Gorodische the species ranges from
Kimmeridgian {Aulacostephanus eudoxus Zone) to Middle Volgian {panderi Zone). Known from the
Volga area and the Ukraine.

Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 6, 59 Oligocy thereis kostytschevkaensis (5 of 8)
Remarks: A distinctive species which we consider to belong to Oligocy thereis Sylvester-Bradley. However,
Permyakova (in D. M. Pjatkova and M. N. Permyakova, Jurassic Foraminifera and Ostracoda of the
Ukraine, Kiev, 1978, p. 148. In Russian) has recently placed this species in Infacythere Griindel. In PI. 6,
60, fig. 5 a juvenile specimen (OS 11420) is illustrated which is similar to O. kostytschevkaensis but
intermediate instar stages were not observed.
The preservation of this and other species from the Volgian of the type-area ( Stereo- Atlas of
Ostracod Shells 1979, 6 (6) — (10) is excellent, as are foraminifera and calcareous nannofossils from the
same samples. The structural stability of the Russian platform has helped to minimise diagenetic effects,
resulting in an exceptional state of preservation (W. J. Arkell, Jurassic Geology of the World, Edinburgh,
1956, pp. 491 -92).
Distribution: Upper Kimmeridgian, Lower and Middle Volgian of Gorodische; Volga area and the Ukraine.

Caprabolbina capra (1 of 4)
ON CAPRABOLBINA CAPRA SCHALLREUTER
by Roger E. L. Schallreuter
(University of Hamburg, German Federal Republic)
Genus CAPRABOLBINA Schallreuter, 1972
Type-species (by original designation): Caprabolbina capra Schallreuter, 1972
Diagnosis: A genus of the subfamily Gryphiswaldensiinae. Unisulcate, S2 deep, long and sigmoidal; preadductorial
node low, more or less elliptical, sited behind a weak (-obsolete) SI; greatest lobal inflation occurs in
postadductorial area posteroventrally of S2, crest of posterior lobe projects above the hinge line and
higher than that of the other lobes. Velum entire, narrow and flange-like anteriorly and ventrally,
posteriorly appears as a rounded brim; female velar flange expanded anterocentrally to centroventrally,
forming a faintly convex dolon paralleled by a narrow, upturned, rim-like peripheral torus; dolon and
the marginal surface form a distinct antrum. Marginal sculpture consists of a ridge. Except for S2, the
antrum and parts of dorsum, shell surface is reticulate; some tubercles occur, especially on posterior part
and ventral surface of velum.
Remarks: The deep, long, sigmoidal main sulcus (S2) differentiates this genus from Gryphiswaldensia Schallreuter
( Ber . geol. Ges. DDR 10 (4), 481, 1965) and Dogoriella Kanygin ( Ostrakody ordovika gomoj sistemy
Cerskogo, 41, 1967) As shown in Ctenobolbina maclearni Copeland (Pap. geol. Surv. Can. 72 - 43, 10,
1973), the two ventral spines of the type-species are not, as formerly presumed (Schallreuter, Mss. Z.
Univ. Greifswald (Math, -naturwiss. R.) 21, 206, 1972), a diagnostic feature of the genus.
Distribution: Upper Ordovician. Baltoscandia and Quebec, Canada.

(2185; Gnisvard: lat. 57°30'N, long. 18/E), Upper Ordovician; coll, by Horst Kaufmann, 1975.
Diagnosis: Species of Caprabolbina whose adults are c. 0.85mm long. S2 rather broad. Ventral lateral surface has a
single spine on either side of S2. Reticulation relatively coarse.
Remarks: Caprabolbina capra is characterized by its two ventral spines. In Caprabolbina maclearni S2 is smaller and
the reticulation finer than in C. capra.

Figured specimens: Geologisch-Palaontologisches Institut, University of Hamburg, nos. 2187 (9 RV: PI. 6, 68, figs. 1 - 3),
2188 (d RV with velum broken away: PI. 6. 68, fig. 4; PI. 6, 70, fig. 3), 2189 (anterodorsally incomplete
tecnomorphic RV: PI. 6, 70, fig. 1) and 2190 (tecnomorphic LV: PI. 6, 70, fig. 2).
All the figured specimens are from the Isle of Gotland (Baltic Sea), beach opposite the Isle of
Lilia Karlso; lat, 57°18'N, long. 18°8'E; Ojlemyrflint erratic boulder (no. G30, coll, by the author, 1976),
Upper Ordovician.
Diagnosis: Adults c. 1.00 - 1.06mm long. Lateral surface quite strongly convex. Adductorial muscle scar field is
central, smooth, not depressed. Velar flange entire, and in tecnomorphs is narrower. Dolon broad,
strongly convex, occupies the antero- and centroventral regions. Lateral surface of shell has dense,
‘sponge -like’ reticulation, which is absent from the muscle scar field and is reduced near the cardinal areas.
Remarks: This species was hitherto recorded from only one juvenile valve. The largest known tecnomorphic valve
with a velum (GPIH 2191) is 1.06mm long, its domicilium being 870 long. The domicilium of the
figured female right valve is 823 pm long, that of the figured 6 RV 900 pm long. It seems reasonable
to suggest, therefore, that the males are possibly larger than the females.
The specimens illustrated in PL 6, 70, figs. 1 - 3 show that the reticulation is finer outside than
inside the valves.
Distribution: Ojlemyrflint erratic boulders of the Isle of Gotland (Baltic Sea), Upper Ordovician.
