Microceratina azazoulensis

Ostracoda - Podocopida - Cytheruridae

Discussion

The diagnosis follows Colin et al. (2005). Additionally, Microceratina sp. in Babinot et al. (2009) is included in the synonymic list of Microceratina azazoulensis Andreu & Colin, 2005. Chapmanicythereis sp. 1 in Hart & Critenden (1985) is also tentatively herein considered co-specific, as the figured specimen presents the same general shape, but not the ornamentation, which could be due to taphonomic processes.
