Three new species of podocopid ostracoda from hydrothermal vent fields at 9°50′N on the East Pacific Rise

摘要

Three new species of Podocopid Ostracoda (Families Cytheruridae and Pontocyprididae) are described from washings of Riftia pachytila tubes and associated sediment at the Tica and Riftia hydrothermal vent fields at 9°50′N on the East Pacific Rise: Xylocythere vanharteni n. sp., Thomontocypris brightae n. sp., and Thomontocypris gollnerae n. sp.
