Thaumatoconcha porosa is described and illustrated from an adult male collected at abyssal depths (3716 m) in the Indian Ocean west of Madagascar (Mozambique Channel). The copulatory organ of the new species differs from that of other species of Thaumatoconcha in being more slender. Thaumatoconcha has not been reported previously from the Indian Ocean. A second specimen, an A-1 male collected at abyssal depths (4560 m) in the Atlantic Ocean west off South Africa (Cape Basin), is briefly described and illustrated, but is left in open nomenclature, as Thaumatoconcha species

Ostracoda
