This contribution to "Palaeozoic Ostracod Classification" deals with the history of Editia Brayer, 1952, originally described as a kirkbyid ostracod but subsequently found to show (with its allies) non-kirkbyacean but cytheracean characters - in this respect, an addendum to the chronicle of the Superfamily Kirkbyacea Ulrich & Bassler, 1906. Consequently, the Family Editiidae Knüpfer, 1967b (as understood by Gramm & Egorov 1987) is considered to have given rise to the advanced Mesozoic - Cenozoic Cytheracea. The systematics as well as the stratigraphical, ecological and zoogeographical significance of this neglected family are discussed. In the genus Editia Brayer, 1952, two new species are described, namely E. ansaformis n. sp. and E. sola n. sp., and in the genus Adedtia Gramm & Egorov, 1987, the subspecies A. jugata cornujugata n. subsp.
