Description
Genus Pseudomacrocypris Michelsen, 1975
Type species
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.
