Introduction
Oligostraca includes fish lice, tongue worms, mystacocarids and seed shrimps (or ostracods). Oligostraca seems impossible to diagnose but have a short body with gonopores, usually on the fourth thoracomere (thoracic somite or segment), and a short abdomen (except in the vermiform mystacocarids).
