Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 15. 75 Elofsonia papillata (3 of 4)
Diagnosis: A small to medium, subelliptical, posteroventrally compressed species of Elofsonia with a very
delicate micropapillate ornament of pentagonal and hexagonal units and a subelliptical eye spot. A
distinct keel-like rim occurs posteroventrally. Sieve-type normal pores commonly fringed bv a
circle of papillae. Hinge simple, comprising a smooth bar with indistinct posterior socket in the left
valve. There is no distinct anterior terminal element, although the dorsal surface of the median bar
of the left valve is weakly denticulate anteriorly. Right valve hinge complementary.
Remarks: In common with E. papillata, E. baltica (Hirschmann, 1909) Meddn Soc. Fauna Flora fenn. , 35.
294, figs. 11-12; see also J. E. Whittaker, Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells , 1. 193-200. 1973)
possesses sieve-type normal pores occasionally surrounded by papillae; Elofsonia pusilla (Brady &
Robertson, 1870) (Ann Mag. nat. Hist., 6(4), 23. pi. 8. figs. 1-3. 1870; see also J. E. Whittaker,
Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells, 1, 201-204. 1973) possesses a papillate ornament similar to that of
the new species. E. papillata, however, is quite distinct from these two species with respect to its
shape and outline: it is less tapered anteriorly and posteriorly and shows marked lateral
compression posteroventrally, where a broad marginal rim is developed (this rim is absent in E.
pusilla and E. baltica). A weakly developed anterior terminal hinge element is present in the other
two species; but there is no clearly defined anterior terminal element in E. papillata, except for
faint crenulations on the dorsal surface of the anterior end of the hinge groove/bar. In all
specimens of E. papillata examined by the authors, the muscle scars were difficult to observe, so
that no direct comparison could be made between those of this species and those of previously
described Elofsonia.
Distribution : In addition to its occurrence in the Upper Pliocene deposits of St. Erth, England (sample nos. 2, 7,
10, 23, 25. 27-29; see C. Maybury op. cit. for sample details), E. papillata has been recovered
from the French Redonian (Upper Pliocene) deposits of Apigne (Le Temple du Cerisier),
Beugnon (sample no. 2) and L'Orchere Pincourt (see J.-P. Margerel. Ees Foraminiferes du
Redonien. Systematique, Repartition stratigraphique, Paleoecologie, Nantes. 1, 8-26, 1986 for
sample details).

Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 15, 79 Elofsonia praepusilla (3 of 4)
Diagnosis: A small to medium, subelliptical to subrectangular, punctate and micropapillate species of
Elofsonia with a weakly developed alar projection midventrally. Sexual dimorphism very strongly
developed with males very much longer than females.
Remarks: This species closely resembles Elofsonia pusilla (see J. E. Whittaker, Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells,
I, 201-204, 1973) in shape and outline, although the alar protuberance of E. praepusilla is more
prominent and overall the valves of the present species are less tumid. Both E. pusilla and E.
praepusilla possess a punctate and micropapillate ornament; but whereas the punctate component
of the ornament dominates in the latter species, it is subordinate in the former. The most striking
difference between the two species is the strong degree of carapace dimorphism exhibited by E.
praepusilla. Both males and females of E. pusilla are elongate, whereas the females of E.
praepusilla are much less elongate in relation to the male. Precocious sexual dimorphism is also
evident in the A-l and A-2 instars of the present species.
E. praepusilla differs from E. papillata Whatley & Maybury, 1988 (Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells,
15, 73-76), the only other recorded Pliocene species of Elofsonia, in its more elongate carapace
and punctate ornament.
Distribution: This species has been recovered from the Upper Pliocene deposits of St. Erth, Cornwall, England
(sample nos. 1-3, 7, 10, 16, 18, 23, 26-29) and the Upper Pliocene (Redonian) deposits of
Beugnon (sample no. 2), L'Orchere Pincourt, Le Bosq d'Aubigny and a mixed sample, NW
France. See C. Maybury (op. cit.) and J.-P. Margerel (op. cit.) for details of the British and French
samples respectively.

Stereo- Atlas of Ostracod Shells 15, 83 Loxoconcha athersuchi (3 of 4)
Diagnosis: A medium to large, subovate (9) to subrectangular (cf) species of Loxoconcha, coarsely punctate
medianly and reticulate peripherally with distinct radiate muri anteriorly. Free marginal rim
broad, except orally and with an ornament of weakly developed muri with micropunctate sola.
Internal details typical of the genus.
Remarks: This species is similar in carapace morphology to Loxoconcha linleyi Horne, 1982 (Stereo-Atlas
Ostracod Shells, 9, 33-40). but whereas L. athersuchi possesses a coarsely punctate ornament
medianly, L. linleyi is finely pitted. The reticulate component of the ornament of the present
species is also more strongly developed and male specimens are both absolutely and relatively
more elongate.
L. athersuchi is an abundant component of the ostracod fauna from the two French localities in
the Apigne region listed below; but only ten valves have been recovered from the single British
locality, St. Erth and these, without exception, are larger than the French specimens. Both French
(PI. 15, 82, figs. 1-3 and PI. 15, 84, fig. 1) and British (PI. 15, 84, figs. 2-3) specimens are
illustrated for comparison; their size difference may be a consequence of their disjunct
geographical distribution.
Distribution: The species has been recovered from the Redonian, Upper Pliocene deposits of Apigne (Borehole
II and Le Temple du Cerisier), L'Orchere Pincourt, Palluau I. Palluau II and a mixed sample, all
from NW France (see J.-P. Margerel, Les Foraminiferes du Redonien. Systematique, Repartition
stratigraphique, Paleoecologie, Nantes, 1. 8-26, 1968 for sample details). It also occurs in a bulk
sample (sample no. 1 ) and a sample of blue clay (sample no. 29) from the Upper Pliocene deposits
of Vicarage Pit, St. Erth, Cornwall, England (see C. Maybury, Taxonomy, Palaeoecology and
Biostratigraphy of Pliocene Benthonic Ostracoda from St. Erth and NW France, unpub. PhD
thesis, Univ. Wales, 1, 3-6, 1985 for sample details).

Remarks: Recorded from the Dorset Coast only from the subnodosus Subzone (Lord 1974). Donze (1985)
figured two specimens from the early Domerian of France, one from the A. margaritatus Zone of
Tilly-sur-Seulles, Calvados and the other from the Amaltheus stokesi Subzone (equivalent to the
lower part of the British A. margaritatus Zone) of Saint-Vincent-Sterlange, Vendee, both of which
undoubtedly belong to the new species. In his accompanying range chart Donze gives a
stratigraphical distribution for the species of late Pliensbachian. The present authors also have
sporadic records of this species from the Mochras borehole. Wales. The youngest record of the
species is from a Dactvlioceras tenuicostatum Zone marl from the Ilminster area (Nat. Grid Ref.
406157), England.
Maupin ( Geobios , 11, 107-111, 1978) described two new species of “ Procytheridea ?" from the
earliest Toarcian of Vendee, France. One of these species, P. jardensis, has an outline similar to
that of E. quadrata (Maupin 1978. pi. 1. figs. 5-11.) but has fewer, less distinct primary ribs. The
second species, P. neumannae, has an outline similar to the genus Gramannella but possesses a
ribbing pattern similar to E. quadrata (Maupin 1978, pi. 1. figs. 1-4.). P. jardensis has been
recorded from the P. spinatum Zone of the Mochras Borehole and probably evolved from E.
quadrata in the late Pliensbachian.
Material studied: Three adult carapaces, 150 adult valves and|30 juvenile valves.

Diagnosis:
Remarks:
Distribution :
A species of Ektyphocythere with a distinctly elongate (lanceolate) lateral outline. Dorsal and
ventral margins converging to a narrowly rounded posterior in the left valve, with a more
triangular and pointed posterior margin in the right valve. Ornament consists of fine longitudinal
ribs in weak triangular alignment with intercostal punctation. Marginal zone broad and fused
throughout. Hinge hemimerodont, but details of the terminal elements unknown. Material
available suggests that muscle scars are typical of the genus. Left valve larger than right; overlap
generally weak but best developed at the cardinal angles. Sexually dimorphic, the presumed males
being more elongate and less inflated posteriorly.
Ektyphocythere lanceolata is closely related to the Pliensbachien to Toarcian E. quadrata Boomer
& Lord (Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells, 15, 85-88, 1988), the main distinguishing feature being the
more obviously tapering outline of the former. Their respective stratigraphical positions suggests a
close evolutionary link.
Material studied; 20 adult carapaces, 35 adult valves and 15 juvenile valves and fragments. Only
a few poorly preserved male specimens were recovered.
Only recorded from the late Toarcian of the Mochras Borehole, Wales.

the right valve apex of the triangular ribbing projects beyond dorsal margin. Left valve overlaps
right most markedly at the cardinal angles and along the ventral margin (see PI. 15. 96. fig. 3).
Males more elongate than females. Inner margin is broad and fused throughout. Six anterior and
four posterior simple marginal pore canals. Hinge hemimerodont(?) with each tooth socket
consisting of seven or eight bifid elements (see PI. 15, 94, fig. 4). Details of the median element
unknown. Muscle scars as figured (Text-fig. 1).
Remarks: Material studied consists of five carapaces and 69 valves. In well-preserved specimens this species
is quite distinct. It may, however, be confused with E. intrepida Bate & Coleman, 1975 in poorly
preserved specimens. The two may be differentiated by the form of the anterior lateral ornament.
In E. anterocosta the primary ribs parallel the anterior margin whereas in E. intrepida the primary
ribs meet at an acute angle in that part of the valve. In the latter, no primary ribs follow the course
of the anterior margin. E. rugosa (Bizon. 1960) and E. bucki (Bizon, 1960) differ from the new
species both in outline and pattern of ribbing.
Ainsworth (op. cit.) described similar specimens from the Toarcian and Aalenian of the Fastnet
Basin; his material is too poorly preserved for an accurate taxonomic assessment.
Distribution: El. bifrons and Grammoceras thouarsense zones, Toarcian, of the Ilminster area, England.

ON ANISOCYAMUS ELEGANS (HARRIS)
by David J. Siveter & Mark Williams
(University of Leicester, England)
Genus ANISOCYAMUS Martinsson, 1960
Type-species (by original designation): Primitiopsis elegans Harris, 1957
Diagnosis: Primitiopsid ostracodes lacking adductorial pit, preadductorial node, or any discrete lobation.
Valves unequal (right valve larger), reticulate. Ornamentation of the right valve is absent,
reduced, or restricted in distribution. No velum in adult tecnomorph. Dolon of heteromorph
extends from the posterior hinge corner along the rear part of the valve, to the central ventral area,
but is continued only as a bend along the rest of the ventral and anterior surfaces. Adductor muscle
spot present.
Remarks: Only two species, A. bassleri (Harris, 1931) (see Siveter & Williams, Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells
15 (25) 115-122, 1988), and A. elegans are so far assigned to this genus (Martinsson 1960).
Martinsson (op. cit.) also questionably assigned Primitiopsis minutiperforata Harris, 1957 to this
genus. Work in progress will seek to clarify the taxonomic position of the latter species.
Jangadellina Melnikova, 1980 (= Neocyamus Melnikova, 1979; Palaont. z. , 4, 47-59)
apparently differs from Anisocyamus by lacking distinct reticulation and by having dorsal valve
surfaces extend above the hingeline in lateral view (Melnikova 1979, op. cit.).

Diagnosis:
Remarks:
Distribution :
Species oi Anisocyamus with finely reticulate left valve. Reticulation developed only as a restricted
field antero-centrally of the muscle spot on the right valve, allowing 10- 12 fossae to occur between
the anterior edge of the adductor muscle spot and the anteriormost part of the valve.
A row of tubercles occurs along the admarginal surface (from the anterocentral to the
posterocentral area) of juvenile and adult tecnomorph left valves, and is also present but not
posteriorly in heteromorphs. Martinsson {op. cit.) also noticed these tubercles in both A. elegans
and A. bassleri but considered them to be restricted to the anteroventral section of the left valve
margin. A second row of faint tubercles are also located more admarginally in the anteroventral
area of the left valve.
The reticulate ornament of the right valve occasionally extends beyond the adductor muscle spot
to the postadductorial area of the right valve. As suggested by Martinsson (op. cit.) the spacing of
ornament is often better described as punctate on this valve. In a few cases the ornament of the
adult left valve also has the appearance of punctation rather than the more usual reticulation.
Martinsson's (op. cit.) material (from Oklahoma) was indicated to be from the Tulip Creek
Formation, but is probably from the Bromide Formation (Mountain Lake Member) according to
the stratigraphy of Fay & Grafham (Univ. Kansas Paleontol. Contrib. Monograph 1, 14, 1982).
A. elegans is known from the Tulip Creek and Bromide formations, middle Ordovician
(Whiterockian), Arbuckle Mountains, Oklahoma, U.S.A.

Lectotype: Designated Martinsson 1960, 146; Harvard Museum of Comparitive Zoology, U.S.A. no. MCZ
4593A; poorly preserved 9 carapace (= Harris 1931, pi. 14, figs. 2a, b). Both valves are abraded
with consequent reduction of ornament.
Martinsson (op. cit., 153) stated that the specimen he had chosen for the lectotype of A. bassleri
was not registered in the collections of the Harvard Museum of Comparitive Zoology, U.S.A. , the
repository for Harris’s (1957) material. We have, however, examined the type material and
Martinsson’s chosen lectotype is present in the collection. Harris (1931, 92) mentioned a ‘Type’
but failed to specify which it was. Later Harris (1960, 180) referred his original figures (Harris
1931, pi. 11, figs. 2a, b, and pi. 14, fig. 2b) to Harvard Museum specimen no. MCZ 4593A, which
he stated to be the Holotype. This was, however, preceded by Martinsson's designation of the
same specimen as lectotype.
Type locality: From the top of Decker's Zone 8 (see Harris 1957), Bromide Formation, 29.9m below the top of
the Simpson Group, Ordovician; about 400m W of U.S. Highway 77 (Sec. 25, T. 2s, R1E),

25.2m below the base of the overlying Viola Limestone. All the other specimens are from a shale
bed 31.4m below the base of the Viola Limestone.
Species of Anisocyamus with coarsely reticulate left valve, reticulation absent on right valve. The
reticulation on the left valve allows 6-8 fossae to occur between the anterior edge of the adductor
muscle spot and the anteriormost part of the valve.
A. bassleri is distinguished from the only known other congeneric species, A. elegans (Harris,
1957) (see Siveter & Williams, Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells, 15, 107-114, 1988) principally by its
coarser reticulation and absence of ornament on the right valve. In addition the dolon. which
occupies the posterior and posteroventral part of heteromorphic valves, is longitudinally shorter
than in A. elegans, while the velar bend of the heteromorph lies closer to the valve edge in A.
bassleri (see Marti nsson 1960).
The hinge of the right valve consists of a groove but no 'teeth'; the left valve exhibits a ridge
confluent with two minor, terminal depressions (see PI. 15, 120, figs. 2-4). The tooth and socket
arrangement observed by Levinson (1950) for A. bassleri has not been seen in the extensive
material we have studied and is considered not to be present in the species.
As in A. elegans, a row of tubercles along the margin of the left valve stretches from the
anterocentral to the posterocentral area in juvenile and adult tecnomorphic valves, and again
appears to be absent posteriorly in heteromorphic values..
The reticulate ornament of A. bassleri is restricted to the left valve during all the observed
ontogenetic stages, but is more dense in juveniles than in adults and also covers less of the ventral
lateral surface. In addition, the ratio of valve length to valve width increases from juveniles to
adults.
Both Harris (1931, 92; 1957, 202) and Martinsson (1960, 147) noted that male specimens are
rarer than females. Our population studies on A. bassleri retrieved from the Bromide Formation
(Interstate 35 Section. Arbuckle Mountains, Oklahoma) have corroborated these statements

Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 15, 125 Leptocythere psammophila (3 of 4)
Diagnosis: Medium to large (530-650 jum long) Leptocythere, ornament varying from fine to coarse pitting.
Post-ocular sulcus weak, dorsomedian sulcus distinct. Posteroventral alar protruberances weak or
absent. Colour white, buff or dark brown in living specimens. Both free corners of distal process of
male copulatory appendage pointed, one acute, the other obtuse; ventral margin nearly straight
with two small indentations; proximal finger-like process curved, a little longer than the
ejaculatory duct.
Remarks: This species was for a long time confused with two others, L. pellucida (Baird. 1850) (The Natural
History of the British Entomostraca , Ray Soc., London, 173. pi. 21, fig. 7) and L. castanea (Sars,
1866) (Forh. VidenskSelsk. Krist., 1865, 32.), from which it is distinguished by size, the form and
proportions of the valves, and the morphology of the male copulatory appendage (see Guillaume,
op. cit. for full discussion of the problem). The confusion arose mainly from the variation in
external ornament exhibited by Leptocythere species, populations of which may include both
“finely” and “coarsely” ornamented individuals according to the degree of calcification of the
valves (e.g., compare PI. 15, 124, fig. 3, with PI. 15, 124, fig. 5) (see C. Kuhl. Abh. Verh.
naturwiss. Ver. Hamburg, (NF) 23, 275-301, 1980).
Distribution: Recent: an outer estuarine species found on sandy substrates, from the Atlantic coast of France to
the Baltic.

Stereo- Atlas of Ostracod Shells 15, 129 Cytheropteron latissimum (3 of 6)
Diagnosis (cont.): Antennula with five articulated podomeres, the distal one relatively very short. Antenna with
two relatively long, curved distal chelate setae. Setal formulae of basal podomeres of legs: (1:2:1),
(1 + 1: 1:1 or 2), (0:1:1). Male copulatory appendage usually with three distal processes; one broad
and lamellar, the other two narrow, pointed, variously shaped and situated one on either side of
the thick, curved ejaculatory duct.
Remarks: Species of Cytheropteron exhibit considerable variation both in external ornament and in details of
the hinge; in our opinion the minor differences used to distinguish Kobayashiina Hanai and
Lobosocytheropteron Ishizaki & Gunther are insufficient to justify separate generic status for
these taxa.

Remarks: B. brunensis is similar to B. sublatissima dertonensis Ruggieri. 1954 (Atti della Soc. Ital. Sci. Nat,
93, 565, 568), having a prominent spine which serves as a base for distinguishing B. dertonensis
from B. sublatissima (Neviani). To quote Professor G. Ruggieri (pers. comm., 1983): "Buntonia
dertonensis was erected as a subspecies many years ago, in the pre-SEM time. Of course, it is a
species, not a subspecies. And the original description lacks an important detail, that is the
presence of a little spine in the posteroventral region". However. B. brunensis does in fact have a
spine much more pronounced than in B. dertonensis. it also differs in having smaller diameter pits,
as well as different muscle scars and their manifestation on the external side of the valve. B.
dertonensis has its eye tubercle formed in another way and the valves are sharply inclined down to
a short ventrolateral rib.
Sexual dimorphism has not been definitely proved in the small quantity of material.
Distribution: Known only from the type locality.

ON JAANUSSONIA UNICERATA SCHALLREUTER
by Jean Vannier
( University of Leicester , England)
Genus JAANUSSONIA Schallreuter, 1971
1971 Jaanussonia gen. nov.; R. E. L. Schallreuter, N. Jb. Geol. Paldont. Mh Jg. 1971, 4, 255.
1986 Jaanussonia; R. E. L. Schallreuter in: von Hacht, U. ( e d . ) , Ostrakoden aus Ojlemyrflint Geschieben von Sylt in Fossilien von
Sylt II, 14, Hamburg.
Diagnosis: Small (adults < 700)um long), asymmetric, non-sulcate ostracodes. Amplete to postplete outline.
Carapace rounded to ovate in lateral view. Ratio of valve length: height = 1.3- 1.7. Long (approx.
0.7 length) straight dorsal margin. Curved, faint 'sulcament' (sensu Schallreuter. Palaeontogra-
phica A, 144 1973) may occur on dorsal inner surface. Posterodorsal hollow spine on left valves
only. Right over left overlap. Lateral surface smooth to locally densely punctate. (Modified after
Schallreuter 1971; op. cit., 255).
Remarks: Jaanussonia is closest to Kayina Harris, 1957, Hemiaechminoides Morris & Hill, 1952 and Hemeaschmidtella
Schallreuter, 1971. The main features in common are a dorsal/posterodorsal asymmetry (involving umbonate
sculpture, knob or spine) and a right over left ventral overlap. These four genera form the family
Jaanussoniidae Schallreuter, 1971.
Schallreuter (1971, op. cit.) implicitly considers jaanussoniids as paraparchitaceans on the basis of a
possible reversal of overlap, on the supposed occurrence of a calcified inner lamella and on external sexual
dimorphism. However, no such morphological features appear to exist in typical jaanussoniids. Also

Remarks (cont.): according to Schallreuter, Barsella Shishkinskaja. 1964 (in: Biostratigrafija neftegazonosnych oblastej SSSR
[ Paleontologija i biostratigrafija paleozojskich otlozenij neftegazonosnych oblastej SSSR/, 105-140, Moscow)
from the Devonian of the Russian Platform, is very similar to Jaanussonia and Hemiaechminoides. However,
its distinctive ‘kloedenellid-type' dimorphic features distinguish it from jaanussoniids.
New S.E.M. observations on well preserved Ordovician Baltic ostracodes extracted from cherts and cherty
limestones by hydrofluoric acid (R. Schallreuter’s collections. University of Hamburg), demonstrate that no
inner lamella comparable to that of Palaeozoic (e.g. Schallreuter in: Kristie (ed.), Proc. 7th. Inter.
Symposium on Ostracodes , Serbian Geol. Soc., Beograd 1979) or Recent podocopes occurs in jaanussoniids
as defined in the present paper. Furthermore, simple right over left ventral overlap seems to be a common
characteristic of all jaanussoniids. The only example (Schallreuter 1971, op. cit.) of a reversal of overlap, in
Kayina hybosa (Harris, 1957) (see R. W. Harris. Bull. Oklahoma Geol. Surv. 75. 160. pi. 3, fig. 11, 1957) is
dubious. Current studies on Harris' Ordovician material (M. Williams, pers. com.) indicate that ventral
overlap conditions of Kayina hybosa are apparently identical to those of all jaanussoniids.
Most jaanussoniids (middle Ordovician to (?) late Palaeozoic) are more probably related to leiocopes
rather than to podocopes such as the superfamily Paraparchitacea (see I. G. Sohn, U.S. Geol. Surv. Prof.
Pap., 711-A, 1971). Typical leiocopes (Vannier in prep.) are small-sized, non-sulcate, non-dimorphic and
exhibit a left valve (ventral) asymmetry (e.g. Brevidorsa Neckaja, 1966; see Text-fig. 1 herein and
Schallreuter, in: Fossilien von Sylt II. von Hacht, U. (ed.), Hamburg, pi. 5. fig. 9, 1986) and a remarkably
constant right over left overlap. Moreover, they lack a distinct calcified inner lamella. All these fundamental
internal and external features are found in most jaanussoniids.
Feiocope valves are typically like two more or less elongate domes joined at a short dorsal margin; their
evenly convex external surfaces lack any lobal or sulcal features. These morphological characteristics and
their small size generally distinguish leiocopes from other Palaeozoic ostracodes. However, an extremely
simple ‘architectural type’ of the carapace (see R. Benson, Ann. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci., 9, 1981) also occurs
in other taxonomic groups (e.g. late Palaeozoic paraparchitaceans; see discussion above). Obsolescence of
lobal/sulcal sculpture in binodicopes (e.g. Vogdesella; see Vannier, Palaeontographica A, 193, 1986) or
reduction of dimorphic brood-care features (e.g. Ochescapha ; R. Schallreuter in prep.) are responsible for
numerous other examples of homeomorphic species. Dome-like thin-walled carapaces are also common

Remarks (cont.): amongst fossil (e.g. Silurian cypridinids; see D. J. Siveter et al., Palaeontology , 30, 1987) and Recent
myodocopid ostracodes (e.g. Polycope; see Hasan. Stereo-Atlas Ostracod Shells, 10, 63-66, 1983). According
to Benson (op. cit.), a dome-like carapace represents the most economical and efficient design to carry
uniform mechanical stresses. This architectural design is common to active swimmers (e.g. pelagic
myodocopid ostracodes), burrowers or interstitial dwellers (e.g. some Recent podocope ostracodes).
Dome-like carapaces have a very low' potential for positional stability on the water-sediment interface and
therefore, are rarely found in true benthic forms. Consequently leiocopes such as typical dome-shaped
thin-walled aparchitids ( Brevidorsa , Text-fig. 1) might be interpreted as swimming forms or possible
burrowing forms (e.g. strongly asymmetrical jaanussoniids like Jaanussonia: Text-fig. 1).
