Ostracoda - Podocopida - Trachyleberididae
The diagnosis follows Swain (1976). Veenia (Protoveenia) cf. florentinensis Damotte, 1961 in Andreu-Boussut (1991) is in fact Veenia guianensis, just as part of the specimens identified as Veenia guianensis and Veenia aff. sp. GA D 16 in Viviers et al. (2000).
