(4) 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 ‘c’-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 – see, for instance, Heterocypris salina (Brady, 1968) ( Meisch 2000: 355) – the species is here tentatively transferred to the latter genus.
