The
two widespread ostracod genera Cypria
Zenker, 1854 and Physocypria
Vávra, 1897 are traditionally distinguished based on the presence or
absence of tubercles on the right valve margin. However, recent
research based on soft body parts has uncovered new cryptic genera
within Cypria and Physocypria. Following this line of
research, a new Cyclocyprididae genus and species, Vizcainocypria viator gen. nov. sp. nov., is here
described from individuals collected in rice fields and wetlands of the
Iberian Peninsula. Vizcainocypria
is compared with Cypria, Physocypria, Dentocypria Savatenalinton, 2017, Keysercypria Karanovic, 2011, Brasilocypria Almeida et al., 2023,
and Claudecypria Almeida et
al., 2023 based on morphological evidence. Besides the presence or
absence of tubercles on the right valve, these genera can be
distinguished according to their mandibular palp, second thoracopod,
caudal ramus, and male hemipenis. Molecular analyses using
mitochondrial (COX1), and nuclear (28S rDNA) genes provide further
support for the differentiation of Cypria,
Dentocypria, Physocypria and Vizcainocypria gen. nov. The
present study highlights the importance of using an integrative
taxonomy approach, combining shell and soft-body parts morphology and
molecular data, to characterize the rich diversity of freshwater
ostracods.
