摘要

A new ostracod species from Pliocene sediments of the Gualdalquivir Basin (SW Spain), Cyprideis civis nov. sp., is herein described and illustrated. This new species is distinguished in having small size (length: < 820 mu m; height < 460 mu m) and strongly reticulated valves and a small size in comparison with other species of this genus. Cyprideis civis nov. sp. inhabited in the bottom, sandy sediments of an infralittoral palaeoenvironment, subjected to occasional freshwater fluxes and storms. In this scenario, this species was part of the gastropod diet, as evidenced by the bioerosion traces found in the valves.
