" Eucytherura sp. 2" Ayress, 1988 *: 591; pI. 20, figs 16,17.

Dimensions. Juvenile?A-I right valve, MA/IP/400, length 0.32 mm, height 0.17 mm.

Diagnosis. Eucytherura with a deep-concavity in dorsal margin corresponding to a sinuous median hinge element at anterior third of valve length. Primarily and secondarily reticulate. '1wo ventro-Iateral tubercles high on lateral surface.

Comparisons. Although this species is similar in many respects to Eucytherura batalaria n.sp. it can easily be identified by its dorsal concavity. This feature is present in Eucytherura tetrapteron (Bonaduce et al.) but that species clearly differs in its distinctive surface mural pattern.

Distribution. In the study region this species has been recorded only from the Late Pleistocene of DSDP Site 209, Queensland Plateau. It is also known from 2580 m in the central Norh Atlantic (pers. comm. Van Harten, 1985).

Distribution. Only a single specimen was recorded from the Early Pleistocene of DSDP Site 209, Queensland Plateau.
