Heterocypris cisternina
(
Furtos, 1936
)
comb. nov.
Yoo
et al.
(2017)
noted that the fifth limb of the
type
specimens of
Eucypris cisternina
Furtos, 1936
lacks the so-called ācā-seta, which characterises the genus
Eucypris
as diagnosed by
Martens (1989)
and transferred the species to the newly erected genus
Manuelcypris
Yoo
et al.
, 2017
. In general,
E. cisternina
rather perfectly fits the diagnosis of the genus
Heterocypris
, except, however, for the absence of marginal tubercles on the right valve. Considering that these tubercles are known to be poorly developed or even missing in some populations of
Heterocypris
ā see, for instance,
Heterocypris salina
(Brady, 1968) (
Meisch 2000: 355
)
ā the species is here tentatively transferred to the latter genus.
