L = 1.10–1.14 mm, H = 0.45–0.47 mm; maximum height at the anterior quarter. Carapace in dorsal view narrow, in lateral view elongated. Inner lamella broad with slight concavity in postero-ventral region. Carapace with large purple patches. A1 with Wouters and Rome organ (Fig. 5A). T1 elongated with two a-setae, with b-seta and with d-seta. Masticatory process of T1 with 12 setae (Fig. 6I). T2 with longer d1 than d2. CR relatively long, almost straight, Sp plumose (Fig. 6D). CR attachment stout, relatively short and slim, with db strongly bent, vb thin and curved (Fig. 7C). Males unknown (Chang et al. 2012).</p> <p>Similar species. Tanycypris centa can be mistaken for Tanycypris siamensis, Tanycypris alfonsi n. sp. and Tanycypris pellucida. T. centa possesses a straighter dorsal margin and a narrower curved posterior margin than T. siamensis (subequally curved in the latter) and a differently shaped inner margin. The CR is thinner than in T. siamensis. The carapace is set with purple patches in T. centa, while T. siamensis is consistently brownish-yellow (Chang et al. 2012).</p> <p>T. centa differs from T. pellucida in the lack of a second b-seta on T1 (T. pellucida: T1 with two b-setae), a much wider calcified inner lamella in T. centa and in the lack of a dorsal subapical seta on the first segment of A1 (present in T. pellucida). T. centa differs from T. alfonsi n. sp. in the carapace coloration (T. alfonsi n. sp. is light green), in the lack of a roof tile-like structure in the anterior region of the carapace (present in T. alfonsi n. sp.), in a more ovoid shape in dorsal view (narrower in T. alfonsi n. sp.) and in the lack of a long dorsal subapical seta on the first segment of A1 (present in T. alfonsi n.sp.).</p> <p>Remarks. Chang et al. (2012) described Tanycypris centa from Korea and deposited the material in the National Institute of Biological Resources, Incheon, Korea (No. NIBRIV 0000243259–0000243262) and in the Department of Biological Science, Daegu University, Korea (No. DB 40011–40028).

Klie (1932) described Dolerocypris pellucida and deposited the material (No. CR—1071) in the collection of the ZMK. Bronshtein (1947) found D. pellucida in samples from rice-fields of Chuppanata (Kazakhstan) and referred to the description of Klie (1932). Petkovski (1964) reported D. pellucida from rice-fields in Macedonia. Victor &amp; Fernando (1981) synonymized Dolerocypris pellucida (Klie, 1932) with Strandesia camaguinensis (Tressler, 1937) and Strandesia camaguinensis sensu Okubo 1972. They transferred Dolerocypris pellucida to Tanycypris —a view that was followed by Broodbakker (1984).</p> <p>Tressler (1937) described Strandesia camaguinensis based on material from a ditch in Camaguin Island and deposited the holotype (No. 71512) in the NMNH; however, the valve characters cannot be reliably studied because the valves have been embedded together with the dissected appendages. The valves are therefore compressed and partly broken.</p> <p>Okubo’s (1972) Strandesia camaguinensis from Okayama is dubious. The valves in Okubo (1972: fig. 1a–c) show a much higher congruence with those of T. siamensis Savatenalinton &amp; Martens (Savatenalinton &amp; Martens 2009a: fig. 8A) than with Tressler’s drawings of Strandesia camaguinensis (= Tanycypris pellucida Klie 1932). On the other hand, the appendages in Okubo (1972) seem to originate from Strandesia camaguinensis (diagram and description of the CR and the CR attachment). Possibly, Okubo illustrated the valves from material he found in Okayama (= Tanycypris siamensis) and the appendages of Strandesia camaguinensis (= Tanycypris pellucida). Chang et al. (2012), already considered the valves Okubo illustrated to belong to T. siamensis rather than to T. pellucida (“Okubo’s [species] more closely resemble T. siamensis rather than Klie’s original description of T. pellucida, which has much narrower calcified inner lamellae" (Chang et al. 2012: 8)). The view of Chang et al. (2012) is fully supported by our study.</p> <p>Similar species. Tanycypris pellucida can be mistaken for T. alfonsi n. sp. and for T. siamensis (see T. alfonsi n. sp.). Tanycypris pellucida differs from T. siamensis in the presence of two b-setae, and one c-seta on T1 (one bseta, no c-seta in T. siamensis) and in the presence of a dorsal subapical seta on the first segment of A1 (absent in T. siamensis).</p> <p>Remarks. After re-examination of the holotypes of Tanycypris pellucida and Strandesia camaguinensis, we agree with Victor &amp; Fernando (1981) that Strandesia camaguinensis Tressler, 1937 is a junior synonym of Tanycypris pellucida (Klie, 1932).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/1231A34154162E781DBBCAA4FDA8CACE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Two paratypes (MSU-ZOC 018—019) are deposited in the Natural History Museum Mahasarakham in Thailand. While the type material has not been studied, five specimens provided by the authors of the species have been investigated in the frame of the present study.</p> <p>According to Savatenalinton &amp; Martens (2009a) T. siamensis has no or an inconsiderable Wouters organ. However, the material investigated in the frame of this study showed a clearly visible Wouters organ (one fourth of the length of segment 1 + 2) (Fig. 10A,B).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/1231A34154142E791DBBCC26FDCEC993	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

L = 0.97–1.11 mm; H = 0.45–0.47; carapace in lateral view elongated. Length = 2.4 times height. Valves greyish-white. LV overlapping RV ventrally, LV longer than RV anteriorly, RV longer than LV posteriorly. Valve surface with shallow pits and thin setae. A1 with small Rome organ. T1 with a-, b- and d-seta.T2 with d1, which is twice as long as d2. CR stout with four groups of setulae on the ventral margin. CR attachment with Triebel loop in the middle, and a long, well developed vb (Brady 1904; Savatenalinton &amp; Martens 2009b). Hemipenis with triangular lateral shield and rounded distal and medial shields. Zenker organ long with 22 chitinous rosettes (for more details see Savatenalinton &amp; Martens 2009b).</p> <p>History. Brady (1904) named this species Cypris inermis and provided its first description. Daday (1910) transferred the species to the genus Eucypris. McKenzie (1971) reported the existence of Tanycypris inermis, which he found in a “small clear pool, formed by drippings of a spring in the near of (sic) Rydal Mount, Witsieshoek, Orange Free State ”. Martens (2001) transferred it to Cypricercus under the assumption of synonymy with Cypricercus cuneatus, a view, that was not followed in Savatenalinton &amp; Martens (2009b), where Cypricercus inermis and Cypricercus cuneatus were treated as two separate species, which “can be distinguished from it [C. cuneatus] by the appearance of the unequal posterior valve margins, by the features of the caudal ramus and attachment and by the morphology of the hemipenis and the Zenker’s organ“ (Savatenalinton &amp; Martens 2009b).</p> <p>Conclusion. This species differs from Tanycypris in the presence of a well-developed vb and of a long groove in LV in C. inermis. The width of the carapace is greater than one-third of the length in C. inermis and thus greater than in the genus Tanycypris (Martens 2001; Savatenalinton &amp; Martens 2009b).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/1231A341540A2E661DBBCE0BFBABCCD4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

CR approximately straight and strongly serrate. CR attachment with two loops; vb is reduced to a small spine, or absent, respectively. Males unknown (Furtos 1936; Broodbakker 1984; Würdig &amp; Pinto 1990; Savatenalinton &amp; Martens 2009).</p> <p>History. Furtos (1936) named Herpetocypris meridana and was the first to describe it; she found it near Mérida (Mexico). The holotype is deposited in NMNH (No. 67974).</p> <p>Löffler (1963) assumed Doleroypris sagitta Klie, 1939 and Herpetocypris meridana Furtos, 1936 were synonyms and rejected a generic assignment of this species to the genus Herpetocypris. However, Löffler did not examine type material. Broodbakker (1984) redescribed H. meridana as Tanycypris meridana, because of its typical CR and CR attachment, which has two eyelets and a reduced vb. He suggested Strandesia pedroensis Tressler, 1950 and Herpetocypris bonettoi Furtos, 1936 were synonyms of, or at least closely related to, T. meridana. His material from several Caribbean islands is deposited in the collection of the Zoological Museum Amsterdam, which has recently been incorporated into the collections of Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden.</p> <p>Ferguson (1967) described Herpetocypris bonettoi, which he found in Madreijon don Felipe (Santa Fe, USA; NMNH No. 112987 and No. 112987). H. bonettoi is distinguished from H. meridana by body size and the appearance of the CR.</p> <p>Martens &amp; Behen (1994) proposed a new combination, Dolerocypris bonettoi, which Broodbakker had transferred to Tanycypris back in 1984. Würdig &amp; Pinto (1990) synonymized Herpetocypris meridana Furtos, 1936 with Dolerocypris sagitta Klie, 1939, Herpetocypris bonettoi Ferguson, 1967 and Tanycypris meridana. They erected the genus Diaphanocypris for this species, characterized by the lack of any structures in the inner lamella.</p> <p>Martens &amp; Savatenalinton (2011) and Karanovic (2012) synonymized Diaphanocypris meridana additionally with Herpetocypris muhitis Tressler, 1950.</p> <p>According to Karanovic (2012) Diaphanocypris meridana is present in the collection of ZMH (No. 1509), but this slide is actually labelled Dolerocypris sagitta (Keyser &amp; Schöning 1996).</p> <p>Conclusion. After examination of syntype material of Dolerocypris sagitta and the holotype of Strandesia pedroensis we conclude: 1. Diaphanocypris meridana is a synonym of Dolerocypris sagitta and Herpetocypris bonettoi (however, the type material of the latter was not available due to relocation of the collection during the preparation of the present study. Subsequent inquiries have not been replied, so that the actual status of this material cannot be detailed). 2. Strandesia pedroensis is here transferred to Diaphanocypris (see Diaphanocypris pedroensis nov. comb.). The possible synonymisation with Herpetocypris muhitis was not studied here.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/1231A341540A2E671DBBCAABFAA2CC0B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

L = 1.33 m, H = 0.56 mm, H &lt;2L; greatest height at posterior third. Carapace in dorsal view narrow, elongated. Anterior margin broadly rounded. Posterior margin sloping ventrally. Surface of carapace smooth and sparsely set with setae. A1 with Wouters organ and Rome organ (Fig. 12A). T1 without b-seta and without d-seta (Fig. 12D). T2 without d1 and without d2. CR short and arcuate, Sp located at the base of Gp and "separated from it by less than the width of the seta" (Tressler 1950) (Fig. 12E). CR-Attachment without vb, but with two loops and a very long and slender db (Fig. 12F). Males unknown (Tressler 1950).</p> <p>History. Tressler (1950) described this species as Strandesia pedroensis. He deposited the holotype in the NMNH (No. 83008). Broodbakker (1984) suggested that this species could be a synonym of, or at least a near relative of, Tanycypris inermis. Savatenalinton &amp; Martens (2009b) list Strandesia pedroensis under "uncertain species in Strandesia ". Two years later Martens &amp; Savatenalinton (2011) combined it as Tanycypris pedroensis without comment and listed the species as Strandesia pedroensis as well.</p> <p>Conclusion. The lack of d1- and d2-seta on T2, the lack of b- and d-setae on T1 and the lack of vb on the CR attachment are characters typical of the genus Diaphanocypris in the Cypricercinae. Therefore we here suggest the new combination of Diaphanocypris pedroensis. This view is supported by the carapace shape in dorsal view, which is egg-shaped and not elliptical as in Tanycypris and Strandesia. Diaphanocypris pedroensis nov. comb. differs from D. meridana in the presence of a G2-seta on the A2 (no claw as in D. meridana), in the relatively shorter and arcuate CR (long and straight in D. meridana), the position of Sp in relation to the base of Gp (in D. meridana it is separated by more than the width of Sp) and the lateral outline of the carapace, which in D. pedroensis is more elevated and more oval than in D. meridana.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/1231A341540B2E671DBBCBEAFCDBCFCD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Surface of the valves with fine, flat stripes. Dorsal margin almost straight; ventral margin slightly sinous. Inner lamella very broad at the anterior end. A1 with Wouters organ and Rome organ (Fig. 12B). T1 with 2 a-setae and 1 seta in the distal median area, of which it cannot be stated whether it is a b-seta or d-seta (Fig. 12C). T2 with a very long d1 and an inconspicuous d2. CR very long and straight (Fig. 12H). CR attachment short and stout, without vb and with db, forming a right angle (Fig. 12G). Zenker organ with 15 rosettes of chitinous spines. All shields of the hemipenis bluntly rounded (Müller 1898; Rome 1965).</p> <p>History. Müller (1898) described Cypris clavigera, which he found in Madagascar, and deposited the type material in ZMG. Later, he transferred it to Dolerocypris (Müller 1912). Rome (1965) assigned it to Tanycypris, because of the characteristic CR attachment. Petkovski, in the discussion following Rome's talk during the 2nd International Symposium on Ostracoda (discussion published in Rome 1969) argued that Dolerocypris pellucida is most likely a Tanycypris and probably even a synonym of Tanycypris clavigera. McKenzie (1971), while describing South African freshwater ostracods, followed Rome (1965) in assigning D. clavigera to Tanycypris. In contrast, Broodbakker (1984) cast doubt on Rome’s description and called for a re-examination of Dolerocypris clavigera.</p> <p>While the holotype could not be found in the ZMG collection, three slides with dissected paratypes (No. 32 e) were examined.</p> <p>Conclusion. The generic state of Dolerocypris clavigera is still controversial; however, it is obvious that this species does not belong to the genus Tanycypris, because of its lack of vb on the CR attachment (present in Tanycypris), its lack of a groove in the inner lamella of LV (present in Tanycypris) and the lack of a second seta in the median distal area of T1 (in Tanycypris one b- and one d-seta are present). An assignment to Astenocypris can also be excluded due to the lack of vb and the well-developed db (Astenocypris has a short vb and a short, pointed db).</p> <p>If the seta in the distal median area of T1 is interpreted as a d-seta, the species clavigera cannot be assigned to any genus of the subfamily. In contrast, if this seta is interpreted as a b-seta, the key characters of this species lead to an assignment to the genus Nealecypris. Therefore, we suggest the new combination Nealecypris clavigera.</p> <p>Nealecypris clavigera nov. comb. differs from N. obtusa in the dorsal margin (straight in N. clavigera, slightly arched in N. obtusa), in the length (L &lt;1 mm in N. clavigera, L&gt; 1 mm in N. obtusa), in the number of setae on the masticatory process of T1 (12 in N. clavigera, 14 in N. obtusa), in the shape of db (longer and slimmer in N. obtusa) and in the size of the Wouters and Rome organs (large in N. clavigera, inconspicuous in N. obtusa).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/1231A34154082E651DBBC93BFAF3CC9E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Krampner (1928a) mentioned this species for the first time in an ecological publication on a temporary freshwater pool near Tel Aviv without any taxonomic description, thus producing a nomen nudum. She acknowledged the help of Vincent Brehm (Lunz, Austria), to whom she had sent her material for identification. A short time later, she published the taxonomic description of Herpetocypris telavivensis (see Krampner 1928b). No further record of this species has been published ever since and Martens et al. (1992) transferred it to Tanycypris without explanation.</p> <p>In the frame of this study, several attempts were made to track down Krampner’s material. It is not present in the Vulkani-Institute (Tel Aviv), nor in the University collections of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Our focus was therefore on finding Vincent Brehm’s collection, to whom Krampner had given her material for identification. According to a short online biography of Brehm (Adamicka 2010) the limnologist Vladimir Kořinek transferred some of Brehm’s collection to the British Museum of National History, London, in 1988. However, this transfer was not confirmed by the NHM, nor were any of Brehm’s ostracods found in their collection.</p> <p>Until the 1950s, Brehm closely collaborated with Hans Wolfgang Schäfer, limnologist and ostracodologist in Berlin. Schäfer immigrated to South Africa in 1954 and soon continued ostracod research as an employee of the then Department of Agricultural Technical Services. However, Schäfer ceased publishing on ostracods and information on his further career has long been unavailable.</p> <p>An indication of the whereabouts of the Brehm collection emerged when investigating the archive of Erich Triebel’s correspondence, housed in the Senckenberg Institute (Frankfurt, Germany). Triebel, founder and head of the micropaleontological section from 1939 to 1969, corresponded with researchers worldwide. The correspondence with Schäfer includes a letter sent from Pretoria in 1961, where Schäfer claims to have the largest private ostracod collection, particularly because Vincent Brehm had given him all ostracod material he owned. In the same letter, Schäfer explained that his collection and documents would go to the Transvaal Museum in Pretoria (now Ditsong National Museum of Natural History) after his death.</p> <p>Attempts to find the Schäfer collection, and thus the Brehm material, in the Ditsong Museum have not (yet) been successful. For the time being, Brehm’s material cannot be tracked down and thus the material Krampner gave to Brehm must be considered lost. An evaluation of the generic assignment must therefore be carried out based on the original description only.</p> <p>Conclusions. Following Krampner’s description and illustrations (1928b), three characters of H. telavivensis are clearly different from Tanycypris: in dorsal view, the carapace is egg-shaped (not elliptical, or torpedo-shaped as in Tanycypris), the valve outline in lateral view is too rectangular for the genus Tanycypris, and the asymmetry of the caudal rami is not typical of Tanycypris, either. In contrast, this asymmetry has been regarded as typical of the Near Eastern species of Herpetocypris by Krampner (1928b: 270).</p> <p>A final assessment, however, can only be provided if Krampner’s material reappears in the future. For the time being, we here reject an assignment of this species to the genus Tanycypris.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/1231A341540E2E631DBBCBBEFC5DCB41	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
