Pseudomacrocypris subtriangularis Michelsen, 1975 by original designation.
Remarks
Pseudomacrocypris Michelsen, 1975 was described from the Jurassic of Denmark ( Michelsen 1975). Michelsen (1975) referred to the tripartite hinge of Pseudomacrocypris as “markedly dentate” and therefore referred this genus to the Macrocyprididae Sars, 1866 . However, Maddocks (1991) showed that the hinge structure is convergent with that of Macrocyprididae while other features are typical of Pontocyprididae Sars, 1866 . We here follow this revision and consider Pseudomacrocypris as part of the Pontocyprididae .
