Ostracoda - Platycopida - Cytherellidae
Cytherella besrineensis (Bischoff, 1964) comb. nov. was initially assigned by Bischoff (1964) to the genus Cytherelloidea, although it did not present any ridge on its lateral surface, which is diagnostic of that genus (Alexander 1929). Therefore, we transfer it to Cytherella, based on ornamentation similarities.
