Some species of the Genus Hemicytheria Pokorny (Ostracoda, Crustacea) from the Upper Miocene of Serbia

Abstract

The ostracod genus Hemicytheria is very important for biostratigraphy of the caspibrackish deposits of the Pannonian basin. More than twenty species are known from regions of central Serbia and adjacent provinces. Most of them being found in the Pannonian and Pontian sediments (Sokač, 1972; Krstić, 1985; Rundić, 1992, 1993, 1997). Herein, three new species are reported for the first time: Hemicytheria setosa n. sp., Hemicytheria carinata n. sp., Hemicytheria portaferrica n. sp.
