Abstract:

A new freshwater ostracode, Cyclocypris vinyardi n. sp., belonging to the family Cyclocyprididae is described from a slow flowing rheocrene spring in Nevada, U.S.A. The new species is distinguished from the other 12 extant species of the genus in the United States based on the double rows of pore openings on the anterior end of the carapace, differences in the shape of the hemipenis, and asymmetry in the clasping organs.
