Abstract
We describe a new genus, Cabelodopsis n. gen., for the South American ostracod species Cypridopsella hispida Sars, 1901.Zonocypris G.W. Müller, 1898 and Cabelodopsis n. gen. are together united in the new tribe Zonocypridini n. trib., which ischaracterised primarily by a large claw on the female antenna. Cabelodopsis n. gen. differs from Zonocypris s. s. (withornamented carapaces) in the general appearance of the carapace and of the valve ornamentation, as well as in the structure of the hinge. Some notes on taxonomy and distribution of the new genus and of the new tribe are provided.References
