Diagnosis.
Large ostracod, about
1.2 mm
long (
Fig. 4
). In lateral view elongated, and surface smooth. Ventral margin curved smoothly into posterior margin. Postero-dorsally both valves with a small spine. Anteriorly rostrum curves ventrally, pointed at the tip. Surface of the shell smooth.
Remarks.
We identified the Korean species as
E.
cf.
chierchie
, because it is slightly slenderer than in the description provided by
Graves (2011)
. According to the same authors, there seems to be a lot of morphological variability in
E. chierchie
, which may indicate several cryptic species.
