A Supplementary Report on the Crustaceans of the Group Myodocopa obtained during the ‘Challenger’ Expedition, with Notes on other new or imperfectly known Species.

Soft Body-Related Features of the Carapace and the Lifestyle of Paleozoic Beyrichioidean Ostracodes

“…Feeding strategy.-The similarity in the structure of the free margin (symmetrical valves, straight commisure in ventral aspect) in palaeocopid Primitiopsidae ostracodes and recent filter-feeding myodocope Cyclasterope hendersoni Brady, 1897, led Adamczak (1969 to conclude that a similar mechanism of feeding occured also in primitiopsids. Subsequently, all palaeocopines (and also paraparchitids) have been considered to be filter-feeders (Gramm, 1984a;Adamczak, 1990, 2002;Whatley, 1995;Lemiers andWhatley, 1994, 1995).…”

Two new benthicEuphilomedesKornicker, 1967 (Ostracoda, Myodocopida, Philomedidae) from the Taiwan Strait (East China Sea)

“…The genus Euphilomedes has a worldwide distribution and typically inhabits marine epibenthic environments (Brady, 1897; Graf, 1931; Klie, 1940; Kornicker, 1967, 1974, 1995; Hartmann-Schröder & Hartmann, 1974; Cohen & Kornicker, 1975; Kornicker & Caraon, 1977; Chen, 1984; Kornicker & Harrison-Nelson, 1997; Chavtur et al, 2007). In total 29 Euphilomedes species have been reported in previous studies (Müller, 1890; Brady, 1890, 1902; Kajiyama, 1912; Poulsen, 1962; Hiruta, 1976; Hartmann, 1985; Kornicker, 1991; Chen et al, 2015a, 2015b; Brandão et al, 2016; detailed species is given in Table S1).…”

Euphilomedes biacutidens(Ostracoda, Myodocopida, Philomedidae), a new species from China Sea

“…Until now, ten species have been recorded from Chinese waters (Tseng, 1970; Chen & Lin, 1995; Chen & Lin, 1997; Liu, 2008; Chen, 2012; Chen et al, 2015a; Chen et al, 2015b; Xiang et al, 2017): E. corrugata (Brady, 1897), E. interpuncta (Baird, 1850), E. japonicus (Müller, 1890), E. longiseta (Juday, 1907), E. liuruiyii Xiang et al, 2017, E. multiangular Chen et al, 2015a, E. nodosa Poulsen, 1962, E. pentacanthos Xiang et al, 2017, E. sordida (Müller, 1890), and E. spinulosa Chen et al, 2015b.…”

“…The genus Euphilomedes Poulsen, 1962 , belonging to the subfamily Philomedinae Müller, 1908 , is the second largest subfamily within family Philomedidae Müller, 1906 , which contains 31 species ( Brandão et al, 2017 ). Until now, ten species have been recorded from Chinese waters ( Tseng, 1970 ; Chen & Lin, 1995 ; Chen & Lin, 1997 ; Liu, 2008 ; Chen, 2012 ; Chen et al, 2015a ; Chen et al, 2015b ; Xiang et al, 2017 ): E. corrugata ( Brady, 1897 ), E. interpuncta ( Baird, 1850 ), E. japonicus ( Müller, 1890 ), E. longiseta ( Juday, 1907 ), E. liuruiyii Xiang et al, 2017 , E. multiangular Chen et al, 2015a , E. nodosa Poulsen, 1962 , E. pentacanthos Xiang et al, 2017 , E. sordida ( Müller, 1890 ), and E. spinulosa Chen et al, 2015b .…”
