03AC87E4FFE70532FF6602FC243B490A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The Rome and Wouters organs of the antennule are not visible in the paratype, but this could be caused by the mounting medium; all lightly sclerified parts are faint and musculature is absent, suggesting some degradation of the specimen. The valves of the paratype examined appear smooth, but Okubo & Terauchi (1992) stated that “ surface smooth at a glance, covered with a number of minute hollows and normal pores ”. The wide hyaline edges of the valves are not visible in the photographs provided by Okubo & Terauchi (1992: Plate 1 N & O), but are depicted in their line drawings of the valves (Okubo & Terauchi op. cit.: Fig 1 G & H) and are visible in the paratype. A specimen figured in Okubo (2004) (specimen 783) is listed as a juvenile in Okubo & Terauchi (1992) (as FO- 783). Examination of the appendages revealed that this species does not belong to the genus Potamocypris and it is transferred to the genus Siamopsis, based on the carapace features and the claws of the antenna. The valves have a lateral outline generally similar to other Siamopsis species, and the left valve has a probable postero-dorsal plate (see Okubo & Terauchi 1992), but it is not easily observable in the paratype due to the mounting of the valves in Canada balsam. The antenna has a reduced G 2 claw, more like a seta (homologous claw labeled as G 3 in Savatenalinton 2017 b) and a very robust G 1 claw, similar to other Siamopsis species. Other appendages also show a strong similarity with those of Siamopsis species, e. g., only two t-setae on the antenna, elongate, cylindrical terminal segment of the maxillular palp, very robust claw on the walking leg, and setae of similar lengths. Although S. sudzukii is generally similar in lateral view to the other five Siamopsis species, it is higher than Siamopsis suttajiti Savatenalinton, 2017 b and Siamopsis conspecta Savatenalinton, 2017 b, and less angular along the postero-dorsal margin than Siamopsis renateae Savatenalinton, 2017 b, Siamopsis khoratensis Savatenalinton, 2017 b and Siamopsis planitia Savatenalinton, 2017 b. Discrimination of species within the genus relies in part on the morphology of the postero-dorsal plate of the left valve, which is not clearly known in S. sudzukii. The five robust setae on the postero-ventral margin of the left valve of S. sudzukii are similar to those in other species of the genus figured by Savatenalinton (2017 b). Okubo & Terauchi (1992) noted that this species was abundant in the Yaeyama Islands and Okinawa, with a large number of specimens on Kuroshima (a small island of the Yaeyama Islands) (Fig. 1). Okubo & Terauchi (1992) did not mention the habitat, but Okubo (2004) listed ponds and rice fields.	en	Smith, Robin James (2023): Descriptions of two Cypridopsinae (Ostracoda, Crustacea) species from the Nansei Islands, Japan, with the first records of non-marine ostracods from the Daito Islands.
