All specimens were collected at Ohura estuary (Fig. 1 C), Okinawa Island, southern Japan, 26 ° 33 ’ 0 ” N, 128 ° 2 ’ 30 ” E on 19 March 1992. Holotype: SUM-CO- 2137 (soft parts and a right valve of adult male; soft parts were enveloped on a slide glass in the “ Neo Sigaral ” as mounting agent and carapace was on a cardboard slide with single hole). Paratypes: 8 males (SUM-CO- 2135, 2136, 2138, 2141, 2143, 2144, 2147, 2148), 5 females (SUM- CO- 2139, 2140, 2142, 2145, 2146) and one an A- 1 instar (SUM-CO- 2149); also as for the dissected specimens, soft parts were mounted on a slide glass in the “ Neo Sigaral ” agent and carapaces were on a cardboard slide with single hole; other specimens, carapaces were kept on a cardboard slide with single hole.	en	Dung, Le Doan, Tsukagoshi, Akira (2014): Three new species of the genus Loxoconcha (Crustacea, Ostracoda, Podocopida) from the Okinawa Islands, southern Japan.

A51A1114FF898368C0CC6BDE15CF8EA7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Carapace rhomboid in lateral view, covered with distinct reticulations and sieve-type pore canals sparsely distributed. Number of pore systems 74 per valve. 4 adductor muscle scars in little curved sub-vertical row, concave anteriorly. Possessing gongylodont hingement with clear crenulations in median element. Plumose seta at posterior margin of first podomere of the three limbs bears several long setulae. In the male, copulatory organ with large and thin distal lobe (Dl); clasping apparatus (Ca) large, thin and partly overlapping the distal lobe, and copulatory duct (Cd) not clear, fine and short, about one fourth as long as length of copulatory organ itself.	en	Dung, Le Doan, Tsukagoshi, Akira (2014): Three new species of the genus Loxoconcha (Crustacea, Ostracoda, Podocopida) from the Okinawa Islands, southern Japan.

A51A1114FF8D8364C0CC6F9B16B88C45.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Carapace rhomboid in lateral view, covered with distinct reticulations and sieve-type pore canals sparsely distributed. Number of pore systems 74 per valve. 4 adductor muscle scars in curved sub-vertical row, concave anteriorly, the second scar from bottom smaller than other three. Gongylodont hingement with strong crenulations in median element. Exopodite of mandible formed as a bunch of 3 long plumose setae and 1 very small degenerated seta. On the first podomere of fifth and sixth limbs, plumose seta at posterior margin bearing several long setulae. Seventh limb much longer and larger than fifth and sixth limbs.
