Higashi, R.; Tsukagoshi, A. (2008). Two New Species of Microloxoconcha (Crustacea: Ostracoda: Podocopida) from Japan, with a Redescription of the Genus. Species Diversity. 13(2-3): 157-173.
In the original description, the interstitial ostracod genus Microloxoconcha
Hartmann, 1954 was diagnosed by the morphology of its carapace and
the number of segments in the antennula, antenna, and mandibula; these
characters, however, are frequently shared with other taxa. The genus is
therefore redescribed with special emphasis on the hinge morphology, antennula
form, and large seventh limb. Furthermore, two new species of this
genus are described: M. schornikovi sp. novo from sandy beaches of the
Miura Peninsula, central Japan, and M. kikaijimaensis sp. novo from Kikaijima
Island, Amami Islands, southern Japan. New descriptive terminology
is proposed for structural details of the male copulatory organ of Microloxoconcha.
