Tribe Cypricercini McKenzie, 1971
Diagnosis
Carapace in dorsal view subovate, elliptical; LV in internal view with a groove, anterior lamella with or without inner list(s); d-seta on T1 absent or present; caudal ramus stout, claws serrated; caudal ramus attachment with Triebel’s loop in the middle of the distal part of the main branch, dorsal and ventral branches both well-developed. This tribe differs from Tanycypridini in the morphology of the caudal ramus attachment, the carapace, especially in dorsal view and the anterior part of LV in internal view. It is distinguishable from Bradleystrandesiini mainly by the position of the Triebel’s loop. Genera included: Bradleycypris, Cypricercus, Pseudostrandesia, Strandesia. (from Savatenalinton & Martens, 2009).
