Non-marine Ostracoda (Crustacea) of the Early Cretaceous 'Pre-Salt' sediments of Brazil: An illustrated catalogue of the type specimens of Wicher, Krommelbein, Krommelbein & Weber, and Bate

Type material of 10 genera, one subgenus, 110 species and 28 subspecies described by Wicher (1959), Krommelbein (1961, 1962, 1963, 1964a,b, 1965a,b), Krommelbein & Weber (1971) and Bate (1972, 1994) are re-illustrated using optical digital technology in order to provide a standard reference for future systematic work and its biostratigraphical and palaeoenvironmental application. The genera are: Brasacypris, Coriacina, Hourcqia, Ilhasina, Looneyellopsis, Pattersoncypris, Petrobrasia, Reconcavona, Salvadoriella, and Tucanocypris, and subgenus Cypridea (Sebastianites).
