New records and redescriptions of three Cyprididae ostracods (Crustacea) from Turkey

WOS: 000418030600006Hemicypris vulgaris Okubo, 1990, Stenocypris bolieki Ferguson, 1962 and Bradleystrandesia parva (Hartmann, 1964) are reported from a tributary of the Gonen River (Balikesir) in Turkey. Hemicypris vulgaris is reported for the first time from Turkey. The finding of Bradleystrandesia parva is especially important as its original description is brief and inadequate. This paper provides details of redetection of the three species and comments on their variability and possible cryptic speciation.Faculty of Fisheries of Ege UniversityEge University [2010.SUF.002]We take this opportunity to express a deep sense of gratitude to Prof. Dr. Koen Martens for sending us his valuable articles and also his technical colleagues in RBINS for providing us facilities to take SEM photographs.
