Bericht über die von Dr. H. Weigold in China gesammelten Kopepoden und Ostrakoden

A review of candonid ostracods (Crustacea: Ostracoda: Podocopida) from East sia, with descriptions of five new species from South Korea

“…a row of relatively thick teeth. This feature is indeed illustrated by Brehm (1923), but its relevance and correctness was unclear, because all other drawings provided in the same paper are of a low quality. With our Korean material, we can now establish this specific ornament of the UR as a unique feature of C. transgrediens, distinguishing it from all other representatives of the genus.…”

“…This species was originally described from a marsh in Canton, China. Brehm (1923) provided only a couple of drawings and a brief description. Based on this, it was difficult to give it a proper generic position, and consequently it was omitted from the key to the genus provided by Karanovic & Marmonier (2002) and Karanovic (2012).…”

On the genusCandonopsis(Crustacea : Ostracoda : Candoninae) in Australia, with a key to the world recent species

“…This is insufficient to give C. brasiliensis the right systematic position within the genus. Candonopsis transgrediens is described from China, but Brehm (1923) did not provide details of its carapace. Also, all the other morphological characteristics, like «spécial» appearance of furcal claws when seeing from lateral side (see Brehm 1923 : Fig.…”

“…Appearance of the furcal claws that misled Brehm were only caused with the position of the furca when covered with coverslip. Brehm (1923) compared his species only with C. tenuis and C. solitaria, and distinguished it from them on the basis of the appearance of furcal claws, i. e. C. transgrediens has a spine only on the posterior claw, while the other two species have spines on both furcal claws. Today, this does not provide adequate information to place C. transgrediens in the right syste- (38) matic position.…”

“…For this reason most of the details regarding their morphology remain poorly known and difficult to compare here. In the key to world species we did not include two species : Candonopsis brasiliensis Sars, 1901 and Candonopsis transgrediens Brehm, 1923. They are considered incertae sedis, owing to their incomplete descriptions.…”
