New species of Bairdioidea (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from the Southern Ocean and discussions on Bairdoppilata simplex (Brady, 1880),? Bairdoppilata labiata (Müller, 1908) and Bythopussella aculeata (Müller, 1908) * Author Brandão, Simone N. text Zootaxa 2008 1866 373 452 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.183820 287b1420-5c7c-4a05-ae95-e4c9121b51a6 1175­5326 183820 ? Bairdoppilata labiata ( Müller, 1908 ) (Figs. 3.18, 4, 5.A–D, I–K, 6, 7, 8.A, C, F, G, J, M–O, R, T, 9.A–F) 1908 Nesidea labiata Müller : 99, Fig. 1 .a–d. 1967?non Nesidea labiata, Neale : 5, 6. 1997 in part Bairdoppilata (Bairdoppilata) simplex , Hartmann : 47, Fig. 11 .a–c, e–g. 2000?non Bairdoppilata cf. B. simplex , Dingle : 486. Material . Previously the syntype series used by Müller to describe “ Nesidea labiata ” were in a glass containing alcohol and labelled “ Nesidea labiata G. W. Müller, Gaus Station (177a), 385m , Deut. Südpolar Exp., 1901–1903 , ZMB 13069”. Inside of this larger glass there were six small vials labeled “177a­1.03”, “177a­ 2.03”, “177a­4.02”, “177a­6.02”, “177a­10.02a”, and “177a­12.02” (see below). These labels most probably indicate the date of collection of each sample, since Müller (1908) stated that these samples were collected between March 1902 and February 1903 , and that N. labiata was especially abundant in December. The vial labelled “177a­12.02” is the one with the largest number of specimens. Finally, three more glass slides with valves and dissected soft parts also form part of Müller’s syntype series. Lectotype (herein designated with the purpose of clarifying the application of the name ? B. labiata to the taxon): 1 dissected A M (SNB 0683), soft parts on glass slides with permanent medium “Hydromatrix” and 2 valves on a micropaleontological slide, ZMB 13069. Previously this specimen was in a vial containing alcohol and labelled “ Nesidea labiata G. W. Müller, Gaus Station (177a.12.02), 385m , Deut. Südpolar Exp., 1901– 1903 , ZMB 13069”. A newly dissected specimen was chosen as the lectotype , since the three slides containing the specimens dissected and illustrated by Müller (1908) can not be observed under the higher magnification objective (100X) of an optical microscope because of the large quantity of preserving medium. Furthermore, the valves of these 3 specimens were also preserved in permanent medium (which contain cracks) on glass slide, being impossible to study them accurately. Paralectotypes : 58 *live specimens preserved in alcohol, 7 RV, 11 LV on micropaleontological slides. All these specimens were in six small vials (see below) and three slides: *Part of the material listed below as live A, (A­1), (A­2), (A­3), (A­4), (A­5) might or might not contain soft parts, since all the valves from the Gausstation were opaque, it was not possible to be sure if some specimens were live or subfossil. 1) Vial labelled “177a­4.02”—subfossil: 2 A RV, 1 (A­4) RV, 1 A LV, 1 (A­1) LV. 2) Vial labelled “177a­6.02”—*live: 1 A F, 1 (A­1); subfossil: 1 A RV, 1 A LV. 3) Vial labelled “177a­10.02a”—*live: 4 (A­1), 1 (A­4) (one of them dissected SNB 0686). 4) Vial labelled “177a­12.02”—*live: 9 A F (one of them dissected SNB 0682), 9 A M, 5 (A­1) F (one of them dissected SNB 0685), 6 (A­2), 1 (A­3), 9 (A­4), 1 (A­5); subfossil: 1 A RV, 1 (A­2) RV, 4 A LV, 3 (A­1) LV, 1 (A­2) LV. 5) Vial labelled “177a­1.03”—*live: 1 A, 4 (A­1), 1 (A­4); subfossil: 1 (A­4) RV. 6) Vial labelled “177a­2.03”—*live: 1 (A­2), 1 (A­4). 7) 1 glass slide with permanent medium containing appendages and 2 valves of 1 A M, and labelled “ Nesidea labiata , 1672 , Gauss., 177a­12.02, 1 adult male”. 8) 1 glass slide with permanent medium containing appendages and 2 valves of 1 A M, and labelled “ Nesidea labiata , 1674 , Gauss., 177a­12.02, 1 adult male”. 9) 1 glass slide with permanent medium containing appendages and 2 valves of 1 A F, plus one closed carapace positioned in dorsal view, and labelled “ Nesidea labiata , 1680 , Gauss., 177a­12.02, 1 adult female”.

Description. LV and RV subtriangular, smoothly rounded, equilateral in female, fairly inaequilateral in male, not caudate in lateral view. Males tend to be not as long, and not as high as females. Valve surface of adults smooth. Valves of adults and juveniles covered by many conspicuous sensilla of variable length, from very short to very long; long sensilla barbed. Normal pore canals simple, with narrow rims or without rim. Anterior fringes and posterior marginal denticles well developed. Marginal pore canals long and straight, not very numerous. Calcified inner lamella medium­sized. Hinge anterior and posterior elements with or without very faint denticulation, medial bar finely striate. Carapace subhexagonal, very inflated in dorsal view, with rounded contour, maximum width at mid­length. Eight adductor muscle scars present. FIGURE 7. ? Bairdoppilata . labiata (Müller, 1908) .

Remarks. The differences between ? B. labiata and B. simplex are presented in the Remarks of the last species. The juvenile LV recorded by Neale (1967, Fig. 2) from the Halley Bay, Antarctic Peninsula, presents a more broadly rounded posterior margin. Consequently this record is herein considered dubious. Dingle’s (2000) illustrated RV (identified as B. simplex ), from the Quaternary of Victoria Land Basin, Antarctica , is similar to the lectotype of B. simplex , but could also be co­specific to ? B. labiata or other bairdioid species.
