Abstract:

A new species of halocyprid ostracod, Bathyconchoecia nanshaensis sp. nov., from the Nansha Trough (the North-West Borneo Trough), southern South China Sea is illustrated and described in detail. The species is a small one that closely resembles Bathyconchoecia paulula Deevey, 1968 and Bathyconchoecia pacifica Chavtur, 1977 in terms of its carapace length (CL; <1.0 mm) and relative height (~70% CL). However, it can be easily distinguished from these species by the locations of its asymmetrical glands’ opening, by the structure of the coxal toothed edge of the mandible, and by the setation of the sixth limb.

Key words: Bathyconchoeciinae, systematics, zooplankton, Nansha Trough, Pacific Ocean
