A Discussion Of The Cytherinae (Ostracoda) With Description Of Two New Species, Leslie Edward Watling

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This paper is concerned with the description of two new ostracod species, and the discussion of their affinities with other species in the subfamily Cytherinae. In this discussion reference is made to the morphological features of several genera. At this point it must be made clear that although the original type descriptions were used, the author has never seen the type specimens. Thus, all discussion is based on these original descriptions as well as on available supplementary material.
