Strandesia gibbosa
(Baird, 1838)
comb. nov.
The genus
Sataracypris
Deb,
1983
was erected to include the single species
Cypris gibbosa
Baird, 1838
, which is characterized by the presence of a conspicuous dorsal hump on both valves.
Savatenalinton (
2015
)
pointed out that a similar hump is also seen in
Strandesia martensi
Savatenalinton, 2015
and that both species therefore probably belong to the same lineage within
Strandesia
s. lat.
Sataracypris
gibbosa
is here tentatively transferred to the genus
Strandesia
. The presence/absence of the so-called Triebel’s loop on the attachment of the uropodal ramus – a character that remains undescribed in
S. gibbosa
– should confirm or invalidate the new combination proposed here.
