Propontocypris clara – Ruan 1989: 118, pl. 20 fig. 24. — Tanaka et al. 2009: pl. 1 fig. 1. — Wang et al. 2018: 326, fig. 3a–d.

Dimensions

L = 0.38–0.493 millimeters; H = 0.213 –0.246 millimeters; H/L = 0.44–0.51.

Distribution

Modern distribution: East China Sea ( Wang et al. 1988); Northern Xisha Trench, South China Sea, China ( Ruan 1989); Northeastern coast of Vietnam, Vietnam ( Tanaka et al. 2009).

Fossil distribution: Hang Hau Formation, Lei Yue Mun, Hong Kong, Holocene ( Wang et al. 2018); Bangkok Clay (samples 20SS01A, 02A, 02B, 04B), whale excavation site, Samut Sakhon Province, Thailand, Late Holocene (this work, Fig. 4 View Fig ).

Remarks

Propontocypris clara Zhao, 1988 is characterized by its small and delicate carapace, subtriangular in lateral view, with Hmax located in front of midL, rounded AB, slightly concave VB, narrowly rounded PB, round normal pores. Propontocypris clara is distinguished from P. bengalensis by the location of Hmax. The examined specimens are smaller than those reported from Holocene sediments of Hong Kong (L = 0.497 –0.526 millimeters; H = 0.280 –0.274 millimeters; Wang et al. 2018).
