Family TRACHYLEBERIDIDAE Sylvester-Bradley, 1948

 

Excluded Taxa

Misidentifications

TRACHYLEBERIDIDAE: Hiltermannicythere Bassiouni, 1970 [A genus from the North Atlantic, Mediterranean and Red Sea] — Howe, H.V. & McKenzie, K.G. 1989. Recent marine Ostracoda (Crustacea) from Darwin and north-Western Australia. Monograph series of the Northern Territory Museum of Arts and Sciences 3: 1-50 [44]

 

Diagnosis

Valves always strongly calcified and frequently richly sculptured. Fused zone broad, penetrated by more or less numerous marginal pore canals which are mostly simple, sometimes branching. Inner margin and line of concrescence mostly separated at valve ends, forming small vestibule. Normal pore canals simple or of sieve type. Hinge amphidont. Antennula 6-segmented. Penultimate segment of mandibular palp elongate, respiratory plate with two rays. Respiratory plate of maxillula without aberrant seta. Hemipenis with huge basal capsule, and sometimes secondary capsule present. Distal lobe simple, copulatory tube short and indistinctive.

Species Actinocythereis costata Hartmann, 1978

 

Generic Combinations

 

Introduction

Howe & McKenzie (1989) suggest that the taxon costata has little relationship with scutigera, and at the generic level is better placed in Ponticocythereis. Currently placed in Actinocythereis following Brandão et al. (2019).

Diagnosis

A campylocytherinid genus characterised by size medium to large, shape elongate-subquadrate; ornamentation scattered pits or reticulations. Margins usually denticulate antero- and posteroventrally. In dorsal view, outline of the valves is abruptly truncate at the rear (like a spearhead). Inner lamellae broad anteriorly and posteriorly, narrow ventrally; radial pore canals long; normal pore canals simple; hinge amphidont. Terminal segment of antennula elongate. Exopod on antenna 3-segmented. Mandibula with elongate distal segment on palp; penultimate segment with 3 long feathered ventral setae; epipod with 2 long and 1 short seta. Female body ending in short, annulate bristles; hemipenis with broadly triangular anterobasal part.
