Late Quaternary sediments from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Hole 1055B, Carolina Slope, western North Atlantic (32°47.041¢ N, 76°17.179¢ W; 1798 m water depth) were examined for deep-sea ostracod taxonomy. A total of 13 933 specimens were picked from 207 samples and c. 120 species were identified. Among them, 87 species were included and illustrated in this paper. Twenty-eight new species are described. The new species are: Ambocythere sturgio, Argilloecia abba, Argilloecia caju, Argilloecia keigwini, Argilloecia robinwhatleyi, Aversovalva carolinensis, Bythoceratina willemvandenboldi, Bythocythere eugeneschornikovi, Chejudocythere tenuis, Cytheropteron aielloi, Cytheropteron demenocali, Cytheropteron didieae, Cytheropteron richarddinglei, Cytheropteron fugu, Cytheropteron guerneti, Cytheropteron richardbensoni, Eucytherura hazeli, Eucytherura mayressi, Eucytherura namericana, Eucytherura spinicorona, Posacythere hunti, Paracytherois bondi, Pedicythere atroposopetasi, Pedicythere kennettopetasi, Pedicythere klothopetasi, Pedicythere lachesisopetasi, Ruggieriella mcmanusi and Xestoleberis oppoae. Taxonomic revisions of several common species were made to reduce taxonomic uncertainty in the literature. This study provides a robust taxonomic baseline for application to palaeoceanographical reconstruction and biodiversity analyses in the deep and intermediate-depth environments of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Abstract:The ostracod associations of the Lower Pleistocene sedimentary succession cropping out at Serra San Biagio (Catania, Sicily NE) have been investigated. The ostracod fauna from nine samples is poorly diversified but well-preserved: A total of forty taxa of ostracods have been identified, thirtythree at specific level and seven at genus level or doubtful species. Thirty species are considered as constituents of the in situ original assemblages. The associations consist almost exclusively of bathyal taxa such as Bythocypris obtusata (SARS), Anchistrocheles antemacella MADDOCKS, Henryhowella ex H. hirta (COSTA) group, Quasibuntonia radiatopora (SEGUENZA), Retibythere (Bathybythere) scaberrima (BRADY) and Bathycythere vansraateni SISSINGH. Also the Krithe group is well-represented with Krithe compressa (SEGUENZA) and K. pernoides (BORNEMANN). Almost all species, some, particularly interesting from the palaeoecological and palaeogeographical point of view, have been here described, illustrated and commented on, including a species belonging to the genus Cytherella JONES, 1849, found in all samples of the section, which is here proposed as new.Key Words: Marine ostracods; bathyal; palaeogeography; palaeoenvironment; new species; Early Pleistocene; blue clays; Mount Etna; Sicily.Citation: SCIUTO F.

La fauna è spesso poco diversificata ma ben conservata: sono state determinati 40 taxa, 33 a livello specifico, 7 a livello generico. L'associazione consiste quasi esclusivamente di taxa batiali come Bythocypris obtusata (SARS), Anchistrocheles antemacella MADDOCKS, Henryhowella ex H. hirta (COSTA) group, Quasibuntonia radiatopora (SEGUENZA), Retibythere (Bathybythere) scaberrima (BRADY) e Bathycythere vansraateni SISSINGH. Anche il gruppo dei Krithe è ben rappresentato con Krithe compressa (SEGUENZA) e K. pernoides (BORNEMANN). Nel presente lavoro, inoltre, sono state descritte, illustrate e commentate più in dettaglio alcune specie particolarmente significative dal punto di vista paleoecologico e paleogeografico. Tra di esse una, rinvenuta lungo tutta la sezione ed appartenente al genere Cytherella JONES, 1849, viene proposta come nuova.Key Words: Ostracodi marini; batiale; paleogeografia; paleoambiente; specie nuove; Pleistocene Inferiore; argille azzurre; Etna; Sicilia.

“…Taxa have been identified according to the modern literature, with special regard to the Mediterranean area (including Müller, 1894;Ruggieri, , 1952Mistretta, 1967;Schornikov, 1969;Sissingh, 1972;Bonaduce et al, , 1998Bonaduce et al, , 1999Whatley and Masson, 1979;Colalongo and Pasini, 1980;Aruta and Ruggieri, 1983;Aiello et al, 1993Aiello et al, , 1996a1996b, 1996cColes et al, 1994; ; Aiello and Szczechura, 2004).

“…Presently the section is recognized as GelasianeCalabrian in age (brief review and extensive references in Maiorano et al, 2010), and now serves as the global boundary stratotype section and point (GSSP) of the Calabrian Stage, with an astronomical age of 1.80 Ma (Cita et al, 2012). The ostracod assemblages of the Monte San Nicola section, which contains the GSSP of the Gelasian Stage (Gibbard and Head, 2010; , have been studied in detail by Abate et al ( , 1994, Aiello et al (1993Aiello et al ( , 1996aAiello et al ( , 1996bAiello et al ( , 1996cAiello et al ( , 2000, and Bonaduce et al (1999Bonaduce et al ( , 2000, providing the basis, together with the aforementioned contributions, for Pleistocene ostracod systematics and paleoenvironmental interpretations. The only previous study of the ostracod assemblages of the Montalbano Jonico succession (Maiorano et al, 2008) concerns the IM-5 agosto section.…”
