There is much confusion surrounding Cypria pelagica Brehm, 1932 – here referred to as Physocypria pelagica ( Brehm, 1932) comb. nov. – known from Central America, and Cypria pelagica Klie, 1932 , recorded from Indonesia and India. The taxonomic history of both species is briefly described here. Cypria pelagica Brehm, 1932 was rudimentarily described from Lake Petén Itzá in Guatemala, with a more detailed description presented later by the same author ( Brehm 1932, 1939). Ferguson et al. (1964) argued that the original description of Cypria pelagica Brehm was insufficient and therefore considered – but incorrectly so – the name of Brehm (1932) a nomen nudum and consequently introduced a new name for the species: Cypria petenensis Ferguson et al., 1964 . More recently, upon examining topotype specimens of Cypria pelagica from Lake Petén Itzá, Pérez et al. (2010) and Cohuo et al. (Online Resource 1 of 2017b) emphasized the presence of marginal tubercles on the right valve, which is a character of the genus Physocypria sensu Meisch (2000) . The species is therefore here transferred to the latter genus as Physocypria pelagica ( Brehm, 1932) comb. nov. Martens & Savatenalinton (2011) pointed out that Cypria pelagica Brehm, 1932 has priority over its homonym Cypria pelagica Klie, 1932 – originally described as Cypria javana pelagica Klie, 1932 - and consequently introduced a new name for the latter species, Cypria kliei Martens & Savatenalinton, 2011 , which is therefore the valid name of that species.
