Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells, 1:19:103 Pattersoncypris micropapillosa (3 of 8)

Diagnosis: Pattersoncypris having very small papillae on ventral surface.

Remarks: All figured specimens were obtained during the acetic acid treatment of fish skeletons from two calcareous nodules. The ostracods were released from the calcareous nodules because the calcium carbonate of the shells had been altered to calcium phosphate. Similarly the excellent preserv- ation of the soft tissue is due to their mineralisation soon after death; there is no evidence of decay. The assignment of Pattersoncypris to the Cyprididae on details of the carapace shape, hinge and muscle scars is confirmed by the soft part anatomy, especially that of the 1st. thoracic appendage which is adapted proximally for pushing food into the mouth and distally terminates in an inwardly turned hook. Unlike modern cyprids, however, this terminal hook is present in the female as well as in the male . In modem cyprids the male uses the hooks to grasp the female during mating; the hook prevents him from sliding off the posterodorsal part of her carapace. That the female also possesses thoracic hooks might indicate that she also used these in mating, suggesting a probable venter to venter position, currently unknown amongst freshwater ostracods but recorded for some marine species. Apart from the terminal hook of the 1st. thoracic appendage being present in the female the remaining anatomy is typical of the family which has undergone little change since Lower Cretaceous times.

Remarks (ccntd.): Perhaps the most remarkable preservation is that found in specimen

10 5027, a female carapace, in which the sensory setae are still pre- served. Little or no work has been undertaken on the marginal setae of living ostracods which makes it difficult to comment on the significance of the conical terminal caps. Close examination of the terminal caps reveals fine striae extending around the cap (Pi. 1:19:108). This emphasises the incredible fineness of detail which has survived for 100 million years.

Remarks: Van Morkhoven (1963, Post-Palaeozoic Ostracoda, vol. 2, p. 138) claimed that Cythere retiformis Terquem was "conspicuously different in outline and not identical" to Cythereis laticancellata Neviani, and thought that C. retiformis might be a junior synonym of Cythere normani Brady, 1866. He was placing too much reliance on the rough sketches of Neviani and he was wrong about C. normani, for this species belongs to the genus Bradleya (Benson 1972, Smithson . Contr . Paleobiol., no. 12, pp. 38-39, text-fig. 13c; pi. 1, fig. 7; pi. 7, fig. 8) and it does not occur in either the Pliocene of Vallebiaia (the type locality of C. lati- cancellata) , or (so far as we know) in the Island of Rhodes (the type locality of C. retiformis) whereas M. retiformis as here interpreted is abundant in both localities.

Remarks (contd.): Sissingh (1972, op. cit., p. 124) suggested that what he termed

"tubular normal pore canals" should be given special diagnostic weight in the generic definition. The figures we give of the normal pore canals show that the sieve plates terminate in bosses which rise from the sola of each fossa (Pi. 1:20:112, figs. 1, 2). We doubt whether these are properly described as "tubular normal pore canals." Pores also terminate higher chimney-like structures between some of the fossae which border the dorsal and ventral margins (Pi. 1:20:110, figs. 1-4), but these appear to be relicts of intramural pores that hav6 survived the degeneration of the transverse muri. We have been unable to determined whether or not they contain sieve plates.

The stellar scars on the internal tubercles that lie to the posterior of the mandibular fulcrum (Pi. 1:20:116, figs. 1-4) are found also in other species of the genus. We suggest the term "stellar tubercle" for this feature. Two stellar tubercles are developed on each valve, both lying to the posterior of the mandibular fulcrum, one dorsally and one ventrally situate, and forming with the mandibular fulcrum an isosceles triangle (Pi. 1:20:114, figs. 1, 2; Pi. 1:20:116, fig. 1).

_ Remarks: Generic assignment: Cythere convexa Baird is the type species of the genus Aurila Pokorny (1955, p. 17). Sissingh (Bull. Micropaleontol . Utrecht, 1972, p. 24) claims to be able to distinguish Mutilus from Aurila on the basis of "tubular pore canals." I have been unable to find any consistent difference between the pore canals of species assigned to the two genera. Indeed all characters appear to be gradational and I am forced to regard the two genera as synonymous. Differs from M. speyeri (Brady) and M. versiculatus in shape. Frontal scars 2 or 3; adductor scars 5 or 6 with undivided or divided ventromedian adductor scars.

Diagnosis: Sleia species with a very large calcarine tubercle in the female. The velar edge on the crumina is divided into one shorter, straight, anterior portion and one larger, posterior portion, the anterior half of which is bent out from the posterior portion (after Martinsson 1962)

Remarks: The specimen figured by Jones & Holl 1886 (p. 350, pi. XII, fig,. 2) as " Beyrichia Kloedeni var. granulata, Jones" (BM (NH) IN 52504) is here considered conspecific with S * troglodytophila Martinsson, 1962. How- ever there is little point in choosing this specimen (or any of the other syntypes which would now be referred to many different species) as the lectotype of "B. granulata Jones (in Jones & Holl) , 1886" as this name is a junior primary homonym of Beyrichia granulata Hall, 1859.

There are at least five other British Sleia species (to be described) ; S. troglodytophila is distinguishable, especially by its subcruminal morphology (see "Diagnosis" above) . It is found in the Wenlock Limestone of the W Midlands of England (e.g. Wren's Nest, Hurst Hill) and the Welsh Borderlands (e.g. at Benthall Edge) .

A further, lesser protuberance may occur with varying strength between the more dorsal pair. Both ant. and post, thirds decorated with about 40 spines, more or less cylindrical in shape, very variable in length in different specimens, but always longer and more prominent towards margins (Pi. 1:28:150, fig. 2).

Recent, widely distributed in freshwater lakes and rivers of Europe and Asia; fossil, from Upper Pleistocene of Syria (see Kempf Z. Geomorph. , Supp. Bd. , 1973, in press). T. monstrifica is the senior subjective synonym of the type-species of the nominal genus Ilyocyprois Masi, but we believe this genus to be a synonym of Ilyocypris .

(University of Leicester 3 England)

Genus SYLVESTRA gen. nov.

Type-species: Sylvestra posterobursa sp. nov.

Derivation of name: In honour of Prof. p. c. Sylvester-Bradlev .

Diagnosis: A genus of Leptocytherinae Hanai with a ventral "snap-knob" as in Callistocy there , but differing from that genus in hinge and shape.

Hinge with median element of left valve reduced to two separated khobs, one median and one anterior in position, underlying extension of anterior element, which consists of a separate groove. Posterior element a quadriloculate socket. Shape trapezoidal with prominent posteroventral pouch.

Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) 10 5159, LV.

A road cutting about 2 km S of Com, Antakya (Turkey) . Approx, long. 36°15'E, lat. 36°02'N. Upper Miocene. Yellow sandstone with abundant molluscan shell fragments and foraminifera. Presumed littoral.

Latin, "posterior pouch."
