Stereo-viewing for users of the Atlas
In order to obtain maximum information and benefit from the use of the Stereo-Atlas it is essential
that the user view the micrographs stereoscopically. Small pocket-sized stereo-viewers are most
suitable for this purpose. Two suppliers are:

ON HEMICYTHERURA CELLULOSA (NORMAN) Emend
by John E. Whittaker
(British Museum (Natural History ), London)
Genus HEMICYTHERURA Elofson, 1941
Type-species (subsequent designation by Elofson, 1941): Cythere cellulosa Norman, 1865
Diagnosis: Adult carapace small (usually <0.4mm), heavily calcified with large excavated fossae; sola of fossae
reticulate. Large eye spot and caudal process present. Pore conuli well developed, pores of simple type.
Internally, hinge of left valve with terminal crenulate sockets and intervening median bar with dentate
extremities. Calcified inner lamella broad anteriorly, narrow posteriorly. Vertical row of four adductors,
with one frontal scar. Males smaller than females and more elongate.
Remarks: The shape and subdivision of the fossae are of prime importance for specific differentiation. It is probably
also a diagnostic feature of the genus that the distinctive adult ornamentation is developed only in the
final moult, all the instar stages being merely punctate with a fine ghost reticulation.

Diagnosis: (Using the numerical notation of Hoskin 1975; see Text-fig. 1). Central group of seven subcircular fossae (1" ,
1"' , 1IV , 2, 3", 5", 9"), of which all but 3" and 9" are distinctly separated from surrounding fossae. Caudal
process short. Viewed ventrally, female carapace subovate, greatest width behind mid-point. Distal lappet of
male copulatory appendage, broad, short and curved
Remarks: An emended version of my paper (op. cit.) is occasioned by Hoskin’s discovery (1975) of two species of
Hemicytherura in British waters, and that both Norman (1865) and Brady (1868), had in fact figured the two,
unbeknown to themselves and all subsequent workers. Hoskin’s identification of the second species as H. videns
(Muller) is shown elsewhere (Horne, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells, 8, 13, 1981) to be incorrect, and a new
species,//, hoskini Horne, is erected.
In order therefore, to redefine H. cellulosa in the light of this discovery, a lectotype is chosen (PI. 8, 2,
fig. 3) from the remaining syntypic material in the Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.). Of the two slides still extant, both of
which incidentally contain only H. cellulosa s.s., that from Lamlash Bay contained the best preserved material.
A new diagnosis is also presented.
H. cellulosa differs from H. hoskini particularly in the subdivision of fossae 9 and 1 , in the shape of the
carapace in lateral and ventral/dorsal view and in the shape of the distal lappet of the male copulatory
appendage.
PI. 8, 4, fig. 3 shows a curious specimen, the only one so far discovered, which has the size and shape of
an adult female, but possesses a mixture of adult (around the outer margins) and juvenile (mid-region)
ornament. The valves are fully calcified so the possibility that the individual was ‘caught’ in the process of
moulting must be ruled out. Rather, it is suggested the specimen represents some form of genetic damage, which
might not be uncommon, but which is particularly apparent in this case as the difference in ornament between
the penultimate instar and adult carapaces is normally so marked in Hemicytherura.
Distribution: Recent, marine phytal species: coasts of NW Europe from France to Norway; records elsewhere still await
confirmation. Sub-Recent:Holland (Wagner, Sur les Ostracodes du Quatemaire recent des Pays-Bas.
Mouton & Co., The Hague, 76, 1957).

Remarks: Through the kindness of Professor G. Hartmann, it has been possible to re-examine the holotype of
H. videns aegyptica by scanning electron microscopy. This taxon is now considered to be sufficiently
distinct from H. videns (Muller) (see WheTsuch, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells,S, 19, 1981) to warrant
separate specific status. Material from the Arabian Gulf was identified as H. aegyptica following a
comparison of the fossal patterns of the shell and male copulatory appendages (compare Text-figs. 2, 3)
with those of the Red Sea material.
Distribution: Material is recorded from the Red Sea by Hartmann (1964) and Abu Dhabi lagoon, Arabian Gulf in this
paper.

Figured specimens: Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) nos. 1980.344 (d LV: PI. 8, 14, fig. 1). 1980.345 (holotype, 9 LV: PL 8, 14, fig. 2),

Nos. 1980344 - 346, 348, 349 were collected alive by the author at the type locality on
9.3.1978, on the red alga Plocamium cartilagineum, at low water mark on a spring tide ; salinity 31.7%o,
water temperature 9.0°C. Nos. 1980.347,350 were collected alive at the type locality on 18.9.1978 on the
calcareous alga Corallina officinalis, at low water mark on a spring tide; salinity 33.1%e, water
temperature 16.0°C, pH 8.3.
Diagnosis: (Using the numerical notation of Hoskin 1975; see Text-fig. 1.) Central group of fossae of which only 1
and 2 are distinct, while 3" and 5" are separated only partially or weakly from 3' and 5' respectively.
Viewed ventrally, female carapace widest behind mid -point. Distal lappet of male copulatory appendage
blade-like, acuminate, with a characteristic step in the inner margin.
Remarks: Hoskin (1975) found that in addition to H. cellulosa (Norman) a second species of Hemicytherura could
be recognised in British waters, the two being distinguished on the basis of variation in the fossal pattern
of the adult carapace. He ascribed this second species to H. videns (Muller) (see Athersuch, Stereo- Atlas
of Ostracod Shells, 8, 19, 1981) drawing attention to similarities between specimens from Ireland and
H. videns from Mediterranean localities. Examination of carapaces and appendages of specimens from
Britain and the Mediterranean now shows clearly that the British (herein = H. hoskini ) may be
distinguished from H. videns on the basis of carapace morphology and the detailed structure of the male
copulatory appendages.

Remarks: H. hoskini differs from H. videns in the arrangement of the central lateral group of fossae, the latter
fcontd.) having a distinct cluster of five (l1, 1" , 2, 3" and 5"), whereas the former has only two (1 and 2). In
lateral view H. hoskini is more produced anteriorly; in ventral view it is cuneate, tapering anteriorly
for about 2/3 of its length, while H. videns is quadrate and tapers anteriorly for only 14 of its length.
H. cellulosa (see Whittaker, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells, 8, 1 , 1981) differs from H. hoskini in
exhibiting subdivision of fossae 9 and 1 , in lateral and ventral outline, and in the shape of the distal lappet
of the male copulatory appendage. The present author follows Hoskin {op. cit.) in regarding the figures
of Norman (1865) and Brady (1868) as representing examples of both British species.
H. aegyptica (Hartmann) (see Gurney, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 8,7, 1981) as well as two
other Mediterranean species, H. gracilicosta Ruggieri and H. defiorei Ruggieri, may be distinguished from
H. hoskini on the basis of fossal patterns.
In most specimens the major fossae are faintly broken up by “ghost” muri (indicated by dotted
lines in Text-fig. 1), some of which tend to develop into incipient muri; the resulting occasional
subdivisions of fossae 1 and 12, noted by Hoskin {op. cit.), were observed in a few specimens from large
populations at Gore Point.
Adults and juveniles of the genus Hemicytherura are very different in appearance, virtually all of
the distinctive adult ornament being added in the final moult (see Whittaker, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod
Shells, 1, 77, 1973 and 8, 1 , 1981). As yet H. hoskini has only been found in samples which also yielded
H. cellulosa, and it has proved impossible to distinguish between juveniles of the two species with any
certainty.
Distribution: Recent. H. hoskini is recorded from the Bristol Channel (herein) and the W coast of Ireland (Hoskin, op.
cit.)', it is probably more widespread, having been formerly grouped with H. cellulosa. At Gore Point in
the Bristol Channel, it was found alive on various algae, within salinity range 31.0 - 33.8%o, on many
occasions throughout 1977 and 1978, being most abundant in autumn.

Figured specimens: Nos. 1980.328 - 332, 337, 341 collected by the author in Cyprus, October 1973: nos. 1980.328 - 330,
(contd.) 332, 337 from Kyrenia, approx, lat. 35° 20' N, long. 33° 20' E, on calcareous algae, water temperature
26°C, depth 1.5m; nos. 1980.331, 341 from Amathus, approx, lat. 34° 42' N, long. 33° 09' E, on
filamentous algae, water temperature 27°C, depth lm. Nos. 1980.333 - 336, 342 collected by
R. H. Bate from algae in rock pools at Kelibia, Tunisia, approx, lat. 36°50' N, long. 11° 05' E. Nos.
1980.338.340, from the type locality, were made available by G. Bonaduce. Nos. 1980.339, 343 from
Tenerife, Canary Islands, approx, lat. 28° 15' N, long. 16° 35' W; collected by M. Linley.
Diagnosis: (Using the numerical notation of Hoskin, 1975; see Text-fig. 1). Distinct central cluster of five fossae (l1 ,
1" , 2, 3" , 511) separated from surrounding fossae by a wide murus. Carapace highest anteriorly; in ventral
view, parallel-sided, tapering abruptly of length from anterior. Distal lappet of male copulatory
appendage, long, curved and acuminate.
Remarks: Hoskin ( Revta esp. Micropaleont., 7, 91 1975) distinguished three species of Hemicytherura (H.
cellulosa, H. videns and H. aegyptica) on the basis of the variation in fossal patterns. His numerical
notation of the lateral fossae drew attention to the similarity between H. videns from the Mediterranean
and specimens of Hemicytherura from Ireland which are now considered to belong to a distinct species,
H. hoskini (see Horne, Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells, 8,13,1981).//. videns may be distinguished from
H. hoskini by differences in the arrangement of the fossae, in outline and in the detailed structure of the
male copulatory appendages. In lateral view, H. videns is less produced anteriorly and has a more
pronounced caudal process whilst in H. hoskini, the right valve is more evenly arched dorsally. In ventral
view, H. videns is quadrate, tapering anteriorly for about % of its length, whilst H. hoskini is more
cuneate, tapering anteriorly for about 2/3 of its length. Both H. cellulosa and H. aegyptica differ from H.
videns in lateral and ventral outline and in the detailed structure of the male copulatory appendages. In
addition, H. cellulosa exhibits subdivision of fossa 9 and H. aegyptica is characterised by multiple
subdivision of fossa 3. Some specimens of H. videns show incipient or partial subdivision of fossa 8 and
most specimens possess a ‘ghost’ murus sub-dividing fossa 3'. Rarely fossae' 3 and 12 coalesce anteriorly.

Remarks: The carapaces of Tunisian specimens of H. videns are larger than those from other localities, but are
( contd .) identical in all other respects. Specimens from Tenerife, whilst having fossal patterns identical to those
seen in individuals from the Mediterranean, differ very slightly in the shape of the carapace; the female
right valves of the Tenerife specimens are more evenly arched and have shorter caudal processes (see PI. 8,
26). Also, the Tenerife specimens differ somewhat from the Mediterranean specimens in the detailed
shape of the male copulatory appendages (see Text-figs. 2 - 5). At present, these minor differences are
considered to be intraspecific.
Material from the Black Sea was not
available to the present author, but specimens
illustrated by Schornikov (in: Mordukhai-
Boltovskoi, F. D. (Ed.) Identification key to
the fauna of the Black and Azov Seas, 2, 163,
Kiev) as H. videns probably do belong to this
species, despite minor differences apparent in the
fossal patterns and in the detailed structure of the
male copulatory appendage.
Since H. videns closely resembles several
other species and because Muller’s specimens are
believed to have been lost (Athersuch, Pubbl. Staz.
zool. Napoli, 40, 1978) a neotype is designated Text-fig. 1. Hemicytherura videns (Muller),

Hemicythere villosa (3 of 6)
Type specimens: The types of H. villosa are not amongst the Sars’ Collection at Oslo University and are presumed lost.
However, the descriptions and illustrations of Sars (1866, 1925) adequately define this species and it is
not considered necessary to designate a neotype.
Type locality: Christianafjord (Oslofjord), S Norway; Recent.
Figured specimens: Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) nos. 1980.422 (d LV and soft-parts: PI. 8, 28, fig. 1 ; text -fig. 4), 1980.423 (9 RV:

1980.422 from Bass Rock, Firth of Forth, E Scotland, approx, lat. 56° 05' N, long. 02° 38' W,
ex T. Scott Coll., collected 1893. 1980.423 was collected from Fucus vesiculosus with epiphytes, 29th
May 1968 (salinity 33.2%c, temp. 19°C) and 1980.424 - 426 from the holdfasts of Laminaria saccharina
26th May 1969 (salinity 31.4%c, temp. 13°C), both on the Fleet, Dorset, S England, approx, lat. 50° 36 1 N,
long. 02° 30' W, collected by J. E. Whittaker. 1980.427 was collected by J. Athersuch from mixed
intertidal algae, at Robin Hood’s Bay, N E England, approx, lat. 54° 26' N, long. 00° 32' W, 22nd
September 1979. OS 9162, from the Nar Valley Clay, Norfolk, E England, approx, lat. 52° 43' N, long.
00° 31' E, is Hoxnian in age and was collected by J. E. Robinson.
Diagnosis: Carapace surface covered with large subrounded fossae or clusters of small pits; tendency to become
reticulate anteriorly and posteriorly. In female, posteroventral fossae form depressed groups; postero-
dorsal protuberance developed. In male, posteroventral fossae not depressed; posteroventral
protuberance developed. Strong, smooth dorsal margin. Seen dorsally, tapering anteriorly for two-thirds
of length; rounded anteriorly, more truncate posteriorly. Female slightly longer, but proportionately
much higher than male. Copulatory appendage with large distinctive lappet and long ductus ejaculatorius.

Remarks: We consider that the specimens illustrated by Robinson (1978) under the name Hemicy there arborescens
(Brady, 1865) are conspecific with H. villosa (Sars). The true identity of H. arborescens is not known
since the type specimens from the Hoxnian Brickearth of the Nar Valley, Norfolk, are not in Brady’s
collections either at the Hancock Museum, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, or the Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.), and are
presumed lost. Brady’s (Ann. Mag. nat. Hist., ser. 3, 16, 190, pi. 9, figs. 5 - 8, 1865) original illustrations
are somewhat confusing in that they could represent any one of a number of species including H. villosa
and Aurila convexa (Baird, 1850). In fact it was the latter which Brady himself (1868, op. cit., 401)
considered to be a senior synonym of Cy there arborescens. Consequently, we prefer to regard this name as
a nomen dubium until it can be assigned to a definite taxon. This may be possible when the current re-
investigation of the Nar Valley ostracod faunas by E. Robinson (pers. comm.) is completed.
Distribution: Recent: coasts of Britain and N Europe associated with littoral, marine algae and sediment; sub-Recent:
Holland (Wagner, Sur les Ostracodes du Quatemaire recent des Pays-Bas . . . ., Mouton & Co., The Hague,
56, 1957); Hoxnian (as H. arborescens (Brady)), Nar Valley Clay, Norfolk and Slindon Sands, Sussex,
England (Robinson, op. cit.).

Diagnosis: Species of Cytheropteron with distinctive combination of smooth lateral valve surface and a strongly
protuberant grooved and ridged spine.
Remarks: Similar shape to C. crassipinnatum Brady & Norman, ( Scient . Trans. R. Dubl. Soc., ser. 2,4,212,1889)
but that species has surface ornament and different spine morphology. C. pipistrella Brady, (Trans, zool.

Kinkelinella malzi (3 of 4)
Remarks: Kinkelinella and Ektyphocythere represent two morphological groups with strikingly different ornamental
patterns which Bate & Coleman (Bull. Geol. Surv. G.B., 55, 14, 1975) consider are congeneric but that
each group is developed to such an extent that a subgeneric category is required for each one ( Kinkelinella
having an ornamentation of dorsoventral trending elements and Ektyphocythere with a triangular
ornamentation dominating). I would go one step further and suggest that the differences in ornamentation
(or more correctly in sculpture when dealing with a higher order of importance than purely specific) are
sufficient to distinguish the two as separate genera. As a genus , Kinkelinella is known from the Toarcian,
Aalenian and Bajocian of Europe (Malz, Senck. leth., 47, 4, 385 - 404, 1966); K. malzi thus represents the
youngest record of the genus.
Although the muscle scars have not been observed in this species it is here assigned to
Kinkelinella on the strength of the ventrolateral overhang of the valves, the compressed anterior and
posterior marginal borders, the simple, straight marginal pore canals, the antimerodont hinge and presence
of an eye node.
The alate extensions of the valves in K. malzi are more pronounced than in any other species of
the genus and associated with these are subcentral sulci which are not seen in other species. The well
developed alae may simply be morphological adaptations which evolved as a result of inhabiting a muddy
sea floor type of environment in which it was advantageous to increase the surface area/volume ratio of
the carapace to prevent sinking. Such an environment was common in the L Jurassic (Lord, Bull, geol.
Soc. Denm., 21,319 - 336, 1972) and also in the lowermost Bathonian.
Distribution: Known from the L Bathonian of Normandy and the L Bathonian, L Fuller’s Earth of Dorset.

sample. From small temporary pond near Lake Tekapo, South Island, New Zealand; lat. 43° 54 1 S, long.
170° 35' E.
Diagnosis: Elongate ovate carapace. Dorsal margin straight in males, broadly arched in females. Antero and postero-
ventral margins well rounded. The characteristic feature of the soft anatomy which distinguishes
Paralimnocy there from other limnocytherine genera is the absence of long bristles on the posterior
margins of the three walking legs (PI — P3) as noted by Klie (Tierwelt Dtl., 34, 1 53, 1938). More recently
Petkovski ( Acta Mus. maced. Sci. nat., 12, 5 - 12, 1969) has recorded the presence of a rudimentary
bristle on the P3 protopods of two Yugoslavian species but Klie’s observation remains true for the
New Zealand species.
Distribution: Known from only two localities in New Zealand; as a fossil at the type locality and living in a small pond
near the glacially derived, alpine Lake Tekapo; lat. 43° 54' S. long. 170° 35' E. Alt. 708 metres.

Lomatobolbina vonhachtorum (3 of 4)
Diagnosis: Length up to 1040 /im (holotype). Tecnomorphs without velum and histium. Anteroventral and anterior
centroventral region of females with velar flange continued in posterior centroventral region by short
histial flange; velum in subhistial part reduced, developed only as small ridge; uniting point of velar ridge
and velar/histial flange behind S2 ventral of posteroventral lobe (L3). Antra with puncta. Surface
reticulate.
Remarks: Lomatobolbina was only previously known from the Viruan (Baltoscandian Middle Ordovician) of
Sweden. The type-species of Lomatobolbina Jaanusson (Bull. geol.Instn. Univ. Upsala, 37 (3/4) resp.
Publ. Palaeont. Inst. Univ. Upsala , 17, 395, 1957), Ctenobolbina mammillata Thorslund (Sver. geol.
Unders. Ser. C 436 [= Arsbok 34 (6)] , 174, 1940) is larger (up to 1400 pm) and differs clearly by the
presence of a tecnomorphic velar keel, a more anterior position of the joining point of the histial and velar
dolon (cf. Jaanusson, Ibid. 43 (6/8) 7, 1967 resp. Ibid. 66, 1966, text -fig. 4G-H), and the ornamentation
(“minute granules, arranged in rows giving the ornamentation a minutely lineate or reticulate
appearance”, Jaanusson , op. cit., 3981957). In contrast to L. mammillata in the new species the velar
dolon behind the joining point is reduced to a ridge — as in Pentagona veloreducta Schallreuter ( Geologie
16 (5), 621 1967).
Distribution: Known from the type locality and Ojlemyrflint erratic boulder (G30) from the Isle of Gotland (Baltic

Poly cope frigida (3 of 8)
Diagnosis: Large, pitted Poly cope with single spine developed in posterodorsal area and well-developed rostral
projection in right valve at about mid-height anteriorly. Mandible pars incisiva strong and broad, furca
somewhat rectangular with 7 main, backwardly curved spines with pilose posterior edges. Male not known
with certainty.
Remarks: This species is unlikely to be confused with any other. The nearest appear to be P. bispinosa Joy and Clark
from the Central Arctic Basin and P. punctata Sars, first described from the Lofoten Islands but since
widely recorded from the Norwegian Coast and elsewhere. The former differs in shape and in having two
spines in the dorsal region of the shell and a rostral projection in the left valve. P. punctata differs in
lacking spines on the shell, shows no rostral projection in either valve and is more equidimensional in
height and width. The appendages also differ in detail as seen by reference to the mandibular palp and the
furca. The present material shows the hinge in Polycope clearly. Closure of the valves (PI. 8, 60, figs. 1,2;
PI. 8, 62, fig. 2) is accomplished by a groove along the anterior, ventral and posterior margins of the RV
accommodating the edge of the LV. This structure ends antero- and postero-dorsally where the RV
develops elliptical terminal locating teeth delimiting the groove below. The terminations of the LV selvage
slot between these teeth and the edge of the RV. The dorsal margin in the RV consists of a straight bar
with a groove below into which the edge of the LV fits.
Distribution: Besides the type locality P. frigida has also been found at CENTOB NORBI Station 10, CP 16,
73° 28.2' N, 10b 06.6' W to 736 28.3 1 N, 10° 02.6' W at 2,937m. On the basis of the soft parts specimens
from Station 4, DS 09, 69° 09.8 'N, 04° 32.2 'E to 69° 09 .4 'N, 04° 33.01 E between Jan Mayen and
Norway at 3,211m are placed here. The males are unknown but a single decalcified specimen of Polycope
from Station 9, KR 19, 73° 37.2' N, 07° 26.3 1 W at 3,294m is probably the male of this species. It has a
distinctive, easily recognised furca. Present knowledge suggests that P. frigida is a deep, cold-water form
which has so far been recovered from depths between 2,937 and 3,709 metres. At the type locality over
50 specimens of the species were associated with six specimens of Cytheropteron alatum Sars.

Approx, lat. 36° 07' N, long. 36° 01 ' E. Io 5882 and the specimen figured in PI. 8, 66, figs. 2, 3 are from
Kato-Dheutera, Cyprus, collected by the late P. C. Sylvester-Bradley; Pliocene; grey marl with molluscs
and foraminifera, presumed shallow marine. Approx, lat. 35° 05' N, long. 33° 17' E. Io 5884 is from a
dredge sample from Urla Bay, W coast of Turkey; Recent. Approx, lat. 38° 19' N, long. 26° 47 ' E.
Diagnosis: Carapace with continuous ponticulate carina around anterior and ventral margins, discontinuous
ponticulate carina along dorsum and two lateral ponticulate carinae. Shell surface densely turberculate ;
tubercles in form of multifurcate turrets.
Remarks: Three forms have previously been described under the name of C. antiquata (Baird) or C. carinata
(Roemer) by several authors. Uliczny (1969, op. cit.) raised the differences to specific status and for the
third erected a new species, C. bairdii. Carbonnel & Moyes (1971, op. cit.) have recognised two forms,
Form A, C. carinata and Form B, C. antiquata within the specific group of C. carinata (Roemer).

Remarks: In the present material the three species are often, though not always, found together. This applies to the
(contd.) Pliocene, Pleistocene and Recent sediments; I cannot, therefore, agree with the observations of Carbonnel
& Moyes. The specimens of the three species all show differences in morphology and in ontogenetic
development; I was unable to find any transitional forms and would therefore agree with Uliczny in
considering these forms to be three distinct species.
Young instars of C. antiquata have the same external morphological characters as adults but are
proportionally higher in the anterior half (see PI. 8, 70, fig. 2).
Sexual dimorhism is pronounced with the males being more elongate and having a shorter
ventrolateral carina, confined to the anterior third of the shell (see PI. 8, 64, fig. 1 , as compared with PI. 8,
68, fig. 1).
The older Pliocene forms of this species appear to be slightly smaller than their Pleistocene and
Recent counterparts (see Text-fig. 1).
Distribution: A widely distributed species, occurring in the Pliocene and Pleistocene of Europe and the Recent of the
Atlantic and E and W Mediterranean.
Editorial comment: Since going to press it was brought to our notice (Dr. J. Athersuch, pers. comm.) that C. antiquata and
C. carinata are at present under revision by G. Ruggieri and that the results of his studies are shortly to be
published; this may affect the specific status of the present species.

Figured specimens: Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) nos. Io 5223 (d RV: PI. 8, 72, Fig. 1 ; PI. 8, 74, figs. 2, 3), Io 5224 (9 LV: PI. 8, 72,
fig. 2), Io 5225 (<5 LV: PI. 8, 72, fig. 3; PI. 8, 74, fig. 1). All the specimens were collected by the late
P. C. Sylvester-Bradley from Kato Dheutera, Nicosia Formation, Cyprus; grey marl with abundant
molluscs and foraminifera; Pliocene. Approx, lat. 35° 05' N, long. 33° 17' E.
Diagnosis: Prominent surface ornament of deeply sculptured fossae with high ridges in between.
Remarks: Uliczny (1969, op. cit.) erected C. p. hellenica as a subspecies on the basis of different ornament (the
ventral rib always being joined to the median lateral rib). In the material examined I have found
considerable variation in the details of ornament (including the papillation of the sola) and therefore
suggest that such a subspecies is invalid.
The adductor muscle scars, a subvertical row of 4, show a tendency to subdivide (see PI. 8, 74,
fig. 3).
C. pokornyi differs form C. cebrenidos Uliczny in possessing a more pronounced ornamentation
with the ventral and median ribs tending to be more strongly developed posteriorly.
Distribution: Tortonian: Italy. Plicoene: Cyprus. Pliocene to L. Pleistocene of the Aegean Islands (Sissingh, Utrecht
Micropaleont. Bull, 6, 99, pi. 7, fig. 2).

ON CISTACYTHEREIS EQUIVALVIS DORUK sp. nov.
by Neriman Doruk
(Ege University, Izmir, Turkey)
Cistacythereis equivalvis sp. nov.
Holotype: Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) Io 5220, d LV.
Type locality: Road cutting, 5km E of Salbas, Turkey, approx, lat. 37° 07' N, long. 35° 10' E. Grey marl with abundant
molluscs and foraminifera, presumed shallow marine; Tortonian.
Derivation of name: Latin , pertaining to the valves of equal size.
Figured specimens: Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) nos. Io 5219 (9 RV: PI. 8, 76, fig. 1), Io 5220 (d LV: PI. 8, 76, fig. 2), Io 5221 (d
LV: PI. 8, 78, fig. 1), Io 5222 (9 RV: PI. 8, 78, fig. 2). The specimen figured in PI. 8, 78, fig. 3 has
unfortunately been lost subsequent to photography. All the figured specimens are from the type locality,
5m from the base of the section.

Cistacythereis equivalvis (3 of 4)
Diagnosis: Shell surface reticulate with polygonal fossae; ribs of variable strength, often no more pronounced than
murae.
Remarks: The surface ribs in this species are either straight or irregular. The intramural pores are raised on pyramids
which are variously developed. Marginal spines are present — 6 to 18 anteriorly and 4 to 6 posteriorly. The
muscle scars comprise a subvertical row of 4 adductors and a V-shaped or divided frontal scar (see text-
fig. 1).
Distribution: Found only from the Tortonian in the Adana region of Turkey.
