A very large species of Ambostracon characterised by prominent costae, well developed intercostate pore conuli and a weakly developed reticulum. The posterodorsal costa is curved and terminates below and just behind the eye tubercle and the anterodorsal costa is submarginal and Explanation of Plate 13, 78 Figs. 1, cf LV, ext. lat.

Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 13, 79 Ambostracon europea (3 of 4) Diagnosis (contd.): extends from the mid-dorsal area of the valve through the eye tubercle to mid-anterior. The median costa is bifurcate anteriorly and is interupted anteromedianly by an irregularly-shaped tubercle. The ventral costa is gently curved and is parallel to the median costa. Anteriorly and caudally there is a narrow, frill-like flange. Marginal pore canals numerous, simple, straight and entire. Hinge holamphidont. Central muscle scars anteromedian in position, comprising a near vertical row of 4 adductors with the dorsomedian scar divided and 3 subcircular frontal scars in a slightly curved row. There are 3 dorsal scars close to the anterior section of the hinge’s median element and a suboval fulcral point situated above and between the adductor and frontal scar rows. Remarks: This species resembles Elofsonella amberii Carbonnel, 1969 (in: J. W. Neale (ed.), The Taxonomy, Morphology and Ecology of Recent Ostracoda, 85-92, pi. 1, Oliver & Boyd, Edinburgh); a Tortonian (Upper Miocene) species from the Rhone Valley which clearly belongs to Ambostracon. The disposition of the costae is similar in both species; but in A. europea they are less robust and more ‘blade like’. The two species also differ in size ( Elofsonella amberii, cf 725 pm long, 9 690 pm long) and in intercostate ornamental detail. Although the ornament of the latter species is highly variable none of the variants which Carbonnel describes closely approach the morphology of A. europea. Species of Ambostracon have been recorded from the Americas, South Africa, Australia, Japan and ? Turkey (V. H. Valicenti, Sixth Intern. Ostracod Symposium, Saalfelden, 97, 1977). A total of seven species (four occurring in the Upper Pliocene deposits of St. Erth and NW France and three apparently confined to NW France) have been recovered by the authors, making this the first record of the genus, as such, in Europe. Distribution: Ambostracon europea has been recorded from the Redonian deposits of Le Temple du Cerisier, Gite d’Apigne, Apigne (Borehole II), L’Orchere Pincourt and a mixed sample from NW France; in addition to the Upper Pliocene deposits of St. Erth (Sample Nos. 1,7,14,22-23, 27-29).

A large, subrectangular species of Ambostracon with a prominent curved, ocular ridge and conspicuous dorsal, median and ventral costae. The anterodorsal and posterodorsal costae are curved and both overhang the dorsal margin. The anterodorsal costa passes behind and is obscured by the posterodorsal costa; the latter is continuous with the median costa. There is a relatively narrow break in the median costa anteromedianly (in the position of the central muscle scar field) and posteriorly, just above the caudal process, is a short, blunt spine. Intercostally the lateral surface is reticulate. Explanation of Plate 13, 82 Fig. 1, 9 LV, ext. lat. (holotype, OS 12110, 810 /xm long); fig. 2, cf LV, ext. lat.

Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 13, 83 Ambostracon costaforma (3 of 4) Remarks: The juxtaposition of the costae of this species is similar to that of A. europea Maybury & Whatley (, Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells, 13, 77-80, 1986). The median ridge in the latter species, however, is somewhat expanded anteromedianly to form a tubercle; unlike that of A. costaforma which possesses a narrow break in its length. In A. europea the median ridge is bifurcate anteriorly, whereas that of A. costaforma does not divide. Pore conuli are more numerous on A. costaforma. Distribution: In addition to its occurrence at the type locality in France, this species has also been recovered from the Upper Pliocene deposits at St. Erth (Sample No. 1) (See J. -P.

Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 13, 95 Roundstonia magna (3 of 4) Diagnosis: A medium-sized species of Roundstonia with a reticulate ornament of subcircular fossae and wide, smooth muri. Large, tubercular sub-alar process in female, more subdued in male; anterodorsal tumescence below eye tubercle, also more prominent in female. Median element of gongylodont hinge smooth. Remarks: This species and Roundstonia minima Whatley & Maybury ( Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells, 13, 97-100, 1986) are included in Neale’s hitherto monotypic genus, Roundstonia ( Revue Micro- paleont., 16(2), 125-131, 1973). His generic diagnosis, however, is slightly emended to incorporate these two species which are notably smaller and larger respectively than the type species and which, while possessing undulose to subnodose surfaces, are not noded in the same manner as R. globulifera and possess a smooth median hinge element. R. magna differs from the type species in size (the holotype cf LV of R. globulifera is 467 gm long), in its coarser reticulation and its lack of weakly developed crenulae on the median hinge element. It also lacks the details of the nodose exterior of R. globulifera, although its surface is somewhat undulose and is swollen in approximately the same areas as the nodes occur on R. globulifera. Distribution: The species has been recovered from the Redonian, U. Pliocene deposits of Apigne (Gite d’Apigne, Borehole II, Le Temple du Cerisier) and L’Aubier, NW France (see J. -P. Margerel, Les Foraminiferes du Redonien. Systematique, Repartition stratigraphique, Paleoecologie, Nantes, 1, 8-26, 1968 for geographical, stratigraphical and sample details).

A very small cuneiform species of Roundstonia with subrounded cardinal angles. The lateral surface is undulose, reticulate and bears a boss-like sub-alar node posteroventrally and further poorly developed subnodose areas anterodorsally and posterodorsally. From the anterodorsal subnodose area a sinuous rib extends anteroventrally.

Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 13, 99 Roundstonia minima (3 of 4) Remarks: This species resembles Roundstonia magna Maybury & Whatley (Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells, 13, 93-96, 1986) internally and in the overall configuration of its ornament and undulose nature of its lateral surfaces. The two species differ in size, lateral outline (the valves of R. minima are more tapered towards the posterior than those of R. magna) and in ornamental detail (the muri of R. minima are absolutely and relatively wider and the fossae smaller than those of R. magna and the former species possesses a distinct, curved, anteroventral rib which is absent in the latter). In addition, the marginal rim of R. magna is clearly defined, but inconspicuous in R. minima. Sexual dimorphism was not observed in R. minima, possibly due to the small number of individuals recovered. Distribution: R. minima is confined to the Upper Pliocene deposits of St. Erth (Sample Nos. 1,2,27,28), where it is a rare constituent of the ostracod fauna.

An elongate species of Leguminocythereis whose prominent longitudinal ribs form a triangular pattern with minor transverse ribs breaking up the inter-costal spaces to give either equidimension- al or elongate fossae. There are approximately 40 fine straight or slightly curved marginal pore canals anteriorly and about 25 similar canals in the posterior half of the shell. There are no vestibules and the frontal muscle scar when well seen consists of two contiguous scars. Explanation of Plate 13, 102 Fig. 1, 9 LV, int. lat.

Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 13, 103 Leguminocythereis chittagongensis (3 of 4) Remarks: This species agrees well with the current interpretation of Leguminocythereis Howe, 1936 and differs from Thalmannia LeRoy, 1939 in its amphidont hinge structure. From Asymmetricythere Bassiouni, 1971 it differs in lacking the asymmetry produced by a protruding right valve rib and in having finer, more numerous marginal pore canals posteriorly. L.hassani Khalifa & Cronin (Rev. Micropai, 22, 1980), from the Eocene of Egypt, is higher in proportion to the length and wider in dorsal view. Closest geographically and stratigraphically is Thalmannia cf. fusa (van den Bold) of Gramann (1975) from the middle Miocene of Burma. Both Gramann's material and our material differ from Van den Bold's Thalmannia ? fusa from the Miocene of W Africa (Rev. Inst. Franq. Petrole 21, 1966) in being wider and having convex extremities in dorsal view. The Bangladesh material is more elongate than the figured Burma specimens. It is not close to other described species. Distribution: L. chittagongensis is found in the Inani Anticline in a grey sandstone which varies between 20 and 30 feet in thickness and which represents a brief marine transgression in a predominantly non-marine sequence. It is associated with a fauna which includes two new species of Costa (see Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells, 13 105-108, 109-112, 1986) and other ostracods indicating a shallow water shelf environment. The contemporaneous foraminiferal fauna (see Ahmed, Rajshahi Univ. Stud., 6, 248-166, 1975) is not completely diagnostic but suggests a late Miocene age, although it is just possible that it may lie on the other side of the boundary in the early Pliocene. Associated Chlamys, oysters, barnacles, echinoid spines and the abrasion of thick shelled foraminifers all confirm the suggestion of a shallow open sea environment with appreciable current action and warm, perhaps even tropical, temperature.

All from the type locality and horizon. A species of Costa in which the dorsal, median and ventral ribs develop short transverse muri on either side. General reticulation is variable being best seen on the posterodorsal area of the males. There is a short transverse rib from the anterior part of the median rib to the anterior part of the anterior marginal rib. This species is placed in Costa Neviani (Mem. Pont. Acc. Sc. Nuovi Lincei, Roma, II, 11, 1928) although it also has strong affinities with Chrysocythere Ruggieri ( Palaeont . Ital., 56 (N.S.26), 25, 1962) and is, in a sense, intermediate between the two genera. It does, however, lack an eye tubercle which is present in the type-species of both those genera. It differs from Chrysocythere in the termination of the median rib which does not join the marginal rib anteriorly and its posterior Explanation of Plate 13, 106 Fig. 1, 9 RV, int. lat.

Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 13, 107 Costa himchariensis (3 of 4) Remarks (contd.): termination turns down before the posterior margin although the downturn is not so pronounced as in Costa. Muscle scar pattern and hinge are identical with those in the type-species of the two genera mentioned although Ruggieri’s original figure shows the frontal scar as two discrete scars rather than a single hook. It differs from Costa in tapering posteriorly rather less than in most species as well as in the characters already mentioned. It differs from Haughtonileberis Dingle (Trans, roy. Soc. S.Afr., 38, 371, 1968) in its marginal spination, crenulate median hinge element and lack of vestibules. It lacks the fourth rib of Paracosta Siddiqui (Bull. Br. Mus. Nat. Hist. Geol. suppl. 9, 28, 1971) and Paleocosta Benson (Smithson. Contr. Paleobiol. 35, 35, 1977). Altogether it agrees reasonably well with the general interpretation of the genus seen in Ruggieri (Boll. Soc. Pal. Ital. 1, 1961) and Ducasse & Mondain-Monval (Geobios 17, 1984). A characteristic feature of the Bangladesh material is the absence of an eye tubercle. This may indicate a discrete east Tethyan development but it is not at present regarded as sufficiently important to separate formally as a named taxon. C. himchariensis is not close to any species figured in the literature. It shows most resemblance to Costa tricostata (Reuss) f. “ normale ” of Ducasse & Mondain-Monval (op. dr. pi. 1, figs. 1,2) from the Palaeogene of Aquitaine, and Paleocosta aff. mokattamensis (Bassiouni. 1969) of Donze et al. (Bull. Centres Rech. Explor. Elf-Aquitaine 6, pi. 5, figs. 1-5, 1982) from the Thanetian of Tunisia. Both are widely separated in space and time from the present species. Distribution: C. himchariensis is found in the Inani anticline grey sandstone which varies between 20 and 30 feet thick and represents a brief marine transgression in a predominantly non-marine sequence. The associated foraminiferal fauna is not completely diagnostic but suggests a late Miocene age although it is just possible that it may lie on the other side of the boundary in the early Pliocene. Associated Chlamys, oysters, barnacles, echinoid spines and abrasion of the thick shelled foraminifera suggest a shallow open sea with appreciable current action and warm or perhaps tropical temperatures.

Stereo- Atlas of Ostracod Shells 13, 111 Costa obliquifossa (3 of 4) Remarks: This species is assigned to the genus Costa Neviani, 1928 for reasons similar to those given in the case of C.himchariensis ( Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells 13, 105-108, 1986). It differs clearly from that species in the valve surface being raised instead of depressed between the median and ventral ribs, in the more general reticulation and particularly in the reticulation developed anteriorly. It closely resembles Costa capsella Al-Furaih (Univ. Lib. Univ. Riyadh, 35, pi. 28, fig. 2, 1980), from the middle Eocene of Saudi Arabia, in many aspects including the fossa, central complex and raised, rather than depressed area, between the median and ventral rubs. The two species differ in details of ornamentation but it seems likely that the Bangladesh species is a later derivative of the Eocene Saudi Arabian one. There is some resemblance to species of Paleocosta such as P.aff. libyaensis Benson, 1977 of Donze et. al. (Bull. Centres Rech. Explor.-Prod. Elf Aquitaine, 6, pi. 4, figs. 1-3, 1980), from the middle and upper Palaeocene of Tunisia, but C. obliquifossa tapers less posteriorly in lateral view and differs in details of ornamentation. The comparison serves to emphasise, however, the approach to Paleocosta in view of the increased ornamentation and incipient development of further longitudinal ribbing. This is best seen between the ventral rib and ventral margin which might suggest reference to Paracosta. Nevertheless, the evidence does not seem sufficiently strong to assign them to either genus. Distribution: The material came from fine grey sandstone which varies between 20 and 30 feet thick and lies near the Miocene/Pliocene boundary in a succession of predominantly non-marine deposits. All the contributory evidence points to a warm, shallow water, marine environment (see Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells 13, 101-104, 105-108, 1986). Explanation of Plate 13, 112 Fig. 1, $ car., It. lat.

A. Reyment, E. R. Reyment & S. Majoran ( Department of Historical Geology & Palaeontology, University of Uppsala, Sweden) Genus TOGOINA Apostolescu, 1961 Type-species (by original designation): Togoina attitogonensis Apostolescu, 1961. Diagnosis: Subovoidal, strongly inflated, massive carapace with unequally ornamented valves. Anterior margin broadly and eccentrically rounded, posterior subangular to truncated with short caudal process in right valve (only vaguely suggested in left valve). The left valve is larger than the right and overlaps or overhangs the latter around almost the entire margin; the ventral surface of the left valve bears four to five riblets. The anterior and posterior margins may bear a few denticles. The anterior inner margin and line of concrescence do not coincide, thus forming a vestibule; a shallow posterior vestibule may occur. There is usually a broad sulcus beneath the flat, elongated, ovoid eye-tubercle. The eye-socket is broad. Hinge heterodont. The anterior marginal pore canals are simple, straight to sinuous; the posterior pore canals are mostly sinuous, usually simple but occasionally bifurcated or grouped in bundles. The muscle field consists of four vertically aligned adductor scars and a rounded anterior spot. Sexual dimorphism strong, with males longer and with their maximum width nearer mid-length than in females; females inflated posteriorly. Late instars are smooth to feebly pitted in the median area; the final larval stage is ornamented.

Scale A (200 /x m; x 80), figs. 1-3. Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 13, 123 Togoina attitogonensis (3 of 8) Remarks: Togoina is highly polymorphic with respect to shape and ornament. Shape polymorphism is manifested mainly in the posterior outline. Ornamental polymorphism is developed as smooth, almost smooth, punctate, subreticulate and costate variants. More than one ornamental variant can occur in the same population, hence these are not ecophenotypic; shape polymorphism may, however, be environmentally controlled. Togoina resembles Leguminocythereis in many respects, but its polymorphic pattern is quite different from what pertains in that genus.

F. Babinot (Universite de Provence, Centre Saint-Charles-Marseille, France) Genus IBEROCYPRIS Babinot, 1985 Type-species (by original designation): Iberocypris cornutus Babinot, 1985. Diagnosis: Carapace trapezoid-shaped in lateral view; left valve strongly overlapping the right, particularly by a supradorsal structure: a median denticulate rim with horn-like protrusions at the anterior and posterior ends; prominent ventral ridge. Right valve smaller and narrower, lacking dorsal protrusions. Ornamentation: mostly smooth but partly reticulate and/or ribbed in the medioven- tral area of the valves. Hinge adont. Central muscle scars: 5 subcircular scars, as in the Candonidae. Marginal pore canals straight, very narrow, about 20 at the anterior margin. Remarks: This genus shows several distinctive features such as the crenulate-rimmed supradorsal margin of the left valve with distal horns and a strong valve dimorphism. However, in some respects it is similar to some freshwater inequivalved genera such as Limnocypridea Ljubimova, 1956, Cyprideamorphella Mandelstam, 1956, Turkmenella Schneider, 1963, Ilyocyprimorpha Mande- lstam, 1956 ... all of which are from the Cretaceous of the U.S.S.R.

F. Babinot (Universite de Provence, Centre Saint-Charles-Marseille, France) Genus PARAPOKORNYELLA Babinot, 1980 Type-species (by original designation): Opimocythere taxyae Babinot, 1970. Diagnosis: Carapace strongly swollen with prominent lateroventral area underlined by a medioventral rib. Left valve overlapping right, particularly at cardinal angles, with margin extending anteriorly in a frontal hinge ear. Ornament: reticulate or partly reticulate, especially medially. In ventral view, carapace arrow-shaped, with sinuous ribbing (elevated muri of the reticulum). Hinge amphidont. Marginal zones large, without vestibula; marginal pore canals sinuous, not abundant. Remarks: This genus probably belongs to the Hemicytherinae. Parapokornyella differs from Pokornyella Oertli, 1956 by the following: carapace more rectangular in lateral view, dorsal margin nearly straight or slightly convex; posterior end larger with pronounced cardinal ear on the left valve only; hinge teeth more or less denticulate. The Tertiary genus Aurila Pokorny, 1955 does not have the dimorphism of Parapokornyella ; the shape is tapered (rather than arrow-shaped) in dorsal and ventral views; the same general trends appear in the subgenera of Aurila erected by G. Ruggieri {Boll. Soc. Pal. Ital., 14, 1, 27-46, 1975). Opimocythere Hazel, 1968 differs by its ventral shape, brachycytherid type of hinge, its numerous marginal pore canals and, moreover, by a circular pit which cuts the selvage at the posterior end. Parapokornyella is a possible ancestor of the Cenozoic genus Pokornyella (occurring more abundantly in marine Paleogene deposits); the Aurila group (Neogene) may also be phylogenetically linked to these genera. Parapokornyella contains: P. taxyae (Babinot, 1970) (Cenomanian); P. triangulata Babinot, 1980 (uppermost Turonian-Santonian); and P. decorata Babinot, 1980 (Santonian).

Strongly marked ornament: lace-like, consisting of a first-order reticulation with polygonal fossae (diameter about 20-30 pm), and smooth spines (papillae) above the carapace surface; spines show a sub-central pore, are not conjunctive or disjunctive, and always occur within the solum of a fossa. Distance between spines seems to be variable between specimens; no spines along the ventral margin. Hinge adont. Marginal zones larger in anterior and postero-ventral areas than in the upper posterior part; pore canals and vestibulum not seen. Subcentral muscle scars (observed in a single fragmented right valve) probably five scars (three in front, two behind) more or less oblique and elongate. Remarks: This species has previously been placed within the genus Paracandona, an assignment which takes into account external features such as size, shape and type ornament. Its hinge and muscle scars are typical of the Candonidae. Peyrecave, the type locality of Paracandona occitanica, is located in the Aurignac anticline (see Text-fig. 1), and in the “Marnes d'Auzas” Formation. This deposit lies below the “Calcaire Nankin'’ containing Orbitoides media (d'Archiac), O. apiculata Schlumberger, Hellenocyclina beotica Reichel, and Nummofallotia cretacea Schlumberger. The “Marnes d’'Auzas” are considered to be one of the last lithologic units of the upper Maastrichtian. Specimens occur predominantly over a 15m thickness (in the middle-upper part) and into grey marls with charophytes; the base and top show a freshwater trend with Frambocythere tumiensis ferreri Colin, Cypris sp. of Babinot, Neocyprideis sp., freshwater gastropods ( Islamia gr. indecisa Cossmann) and charophytes such as Platychara compressa (Knowlton) Grambast, Amblyochara begudiana Grambast, Peckichara sertulata Grambast, and Porochara sp. The middle part contains more brackish associations with species of Limburgina, Perissocytheridea, Cytheromorpha and benthic foraminifers (Laffiteina mengaudi (Astre) and oysters (Ostrea garumnica Coquand).

Stereo- Atlas of Ostracod Shells 13, 138 Paracandona occitanica (2 of 8) Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 13, 141 Paracandona occitanica (5 of 8) Remarks (contd.): associations probably best approximate to marginal environments such as lagoons or marshes with at times increasing or decreasing salinity. Mixed assemblages occur when temporary oligohaline waters flood down into the marine biotopes. Paracandona occitanica is, accordingly, considered to be an oligohaline species. Distribution: P. occitanica is known from areas of southern France and northern Spain. 1. Petites Pyrenees: Peyrecave (see above): “Marnes d’Auzas” Formation, upper Maastrichtian.

All from upper Ordovician Ojlemyrflint erratic boulders of the upper Kaolinsand (lower Pleistocene) near Braderup, Isle of Sylt (no. 3433 from Schallreuter collection no. Syl87, 3434 from Sy212, 3435 from Sy253 and 3436 from Sy 1 15) . Boulders collected by Ulrich von Hacht, Hamburg. Females 1,00-1, 06mm long. Posteroventral lobe rather broad, in tecnomorphs extends posteriorly to the middle of the posterior field, in females it occupies the whole field. Spine of the posteroventral lobe weak in adults, and relatively larger the smaller the larvae. Velar flange narrow in tecnomorphs, in females moderately broad and weakly convex. Surface reticulate. The middle Ordovician type-species of Bolbihithis Schallreuter, 1967, Bichilina prima Sarv, 1959, is of the same size and exhibits the same kind of velar (antral) dimorphism [R.E.L. Schallreuter, Palaeontographica (A), 144 (1/3), 71-72, pi. 24, figs. 5-11, 1973] but B. abdominalis is clearly distinguished by the dimorphism of its posteroventral lobe. This kind of domiciliar dimorphism also occurs in Bolbina (for example, in B. major) and was therefore called ‘bolbinid domiciliar dimorphism’ (R.E.L. Schallreuter 1985, op. cit., 106; Trudy Palaont. Inst., 172, 111, 1979). Known only from erratic boulders. Found in uppermost Ordovician Ojlemyrflint erratic boulders from the Isle of Gotland (Baltic Sea), the Isle of Sylt (N Sea) and the westernmost part of Niedersachen (Wielen), and from an upper Ordovician erratic limestone boulder (no. 85/191) from Ahlintel, Westphalia.
