Bairdia expansa
Brady, 1880
History:
Brady (1880) described
B. expansa
from off Honolulu. Puri & Hulings (1976) designated and illustrated the
lectotype
.
The species was reported by Brady (1890) from tide-pools in
Samoa
and by Chapman (1910) from deep-water dredgings near Funafuti (not illustrated). Holden (1967) identified fossils from drowned terraces of the Hawaiian Islands. It was not reported by Holden (1976) from
Midway
.
The reclassification in
Neonesidea
by Eagar (1971, without discussion, in a checklist of
New Zealand
Ostracoda) is unsupported. An updated generic classification must await additional information.
Conclusions:
B. expansa
should be easily identifiable but does not occur in the material studied here.
