and Manuelcypris Yoo et al., 2017

The diagnosis of Manuelcypris Yoo et al., 2017 is broad, and species have been assigned to this genus inconsistently. For instance, both Heterocypris punctata Keyser, 1975 and Heterocypris antillensis Broodbakker, 1982 , transferred to Manuelcypris by Yoo et al. (2017), have setae on the first segment (protopodite) of the sixth limb ( Broodbakker 1982: 220, 223) and therefore do not fit the diagnosis of Manuelcypris . Other species in the genus appear to have little to unite them morphologically and the molecular analysis of Yoo et al. (2017) does not at all support the validity of the genus. In consequence, the genus is not used here, and we consider it a synonym of Heterocypris . Existing species are returned to their previous genus, Heterocypris , and the new species in Yoo et al. (2017) are here transferred from Manuelcypris to Heterocypris (see New combinations and transfers section for more details).
