Öğe Cypria lacrima sp nov a new ostracoda (Candonidae, Crustacea) species from Texas, USA(Biodiversity Research Center, Acad Sinica, 2017) Külköylüoğlu, Okan; Akdemir, Derya; Yavuzatmaca, Mehmet; Schwartz, Benjamin F.; Hutchins, Benjamin T.A new ostracod species, Cypria lacrima sp. nov. (Cyclocypridinae) is proposed from an artesian well in Hays County, Texas, U.S.A. The species differs from its conspecies with the following characteristics: unique shape and pit ornamentation on carapace, absence of "e" and "g" setae on both walking and cleaning legs, long gamma seta on Mandibular palp, asymmetric clasping organs and differences in the shape and size of other cheatotaxial parts. A detailed comparison among the species of the genus is provided along with ecological implications. This report increases the geographic distribution of the genus in the southern USA.Öğe Description of a new tribe Cabralcandonini (Candonidae, Ostracoda) from karst aquifers in Central Texas, USA(Natl Speleological Soc, 2019) Külköylüoğlu, Okan; Yavuzatmaca, Mehmet; Akdemir, Derya; Schwartz, Benjamin F.; Hutchins, Benjamin T.Cabralcandonini tribe n., with the type genus Cabralcandona gen. n. from an artesian well in the San Marcos, Texas (U.S.A.) and six other genera from karst aquifers in Texas, is proposed as a new tribe of the subfamily Candoninae (Candonidae) (Crustacea, Ostracoda). The new tribe and genus have morphological features that distinguish them from other members of the subfamily. The most diagnostic characteristics of the type genus are (1) two horn-like structures developed on the antero- and postero-dorsal margins of the left valve, (2) numbers of central muscle scars, (3) hexagonal or pentagonal (honeycomb-like) ornamentation on the subrectangular shaped carapace, (4) four segmented second antenna in both sexes, (5) absence of an exopod on A2, (6) shape and size of Y aesthetasc, (7) absence of e, f and g setae on cleaning leg, (8) flagellum (whip-like) uropod morphology, (9) shape of hemipenis, and (10) reduction in number of segments and setae on other limbs. Taxonomic keys for the tribes of the subfamily Candoninae including Cabralcandonini tribe n. are presented.Öğe Hyporheic ostracods (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from Texas (USA) with six new species(2021) Külköylüoğlu, Okan; Hutchins, Benjamin T.; Yavuzatmaca, Mehmet; Schwartz, Benjamin F.Between 2015 and 2017, 58 ostracod taxa were collected at 30 locations in 111 samples from the hyporheic zone of surface streams in Texas, U.S.A. Six new species (Bradleycypris foresteri n. sp., Bradleystrandesia macula n. sp., Pseudocandona lordi n. sp., Indocandona rusti n. sp., Stenocypris sancari n. sp., Cyclocypris dalyana n. sp.) are described based on carapace and soft body parts. Additionally, 17 species and two genera (Vestalenula and Indocandona) are presented as new records for Texas, and Indocandona rusti n. sp. is the first record of the genus outside India. Taxonomic positions of the new species are discussed along with ecological information. One-hundred and six nonmarine ostracod species are now reported from Texas. However, ongoing studies suggest that actual species richness is much higher.Öğe Lacrimacandona n. gen. (Crustacea: Ostracoda: Candonidae) from the Edwards Aquifer, Texas (USA)(Magnolia Press, 2017) Külköylüoğlu, Okan; Yavuzatmaca, Mehmet; Akdemir, Derya; Schwartz, Benjamin F.; Hutchins, Benjamin T.Lacrimacandona n. gen. with its type species Lacrimacandona wisei n. sp. from the San Marcos artesian well on the Texas State University campus (Hays County, Texas, USA) is proposed as a new genus of the subfamily Candoninae. The new species is sexually dimorphic, and so far no congeneric species have been found. The new genus has the following distinguishing characters: subtriangular carapace tapering posteriorly, uropod with a claw-like anterior seta and two short claws, one long "a" setae on male maxilliped, very large asymmetric clasping organs in males, unique shape and size of hemipenis, and unique occurrence of setae on segments.Öğe Ufocandona hannaleeae gen. et sp nov (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from an artesian well in Texas, USA(Museum Natl Histoire Naturelle, 2017) Külköylüoğlu, Okan; Yavuzatmaca, Mehmet; Akdemir, Derya; Schwartz, Benjamin F.; Hutchins, Benjamin T.We describe a new genus, Ufocandona gen. nov. with its type species Ufocandona hannaleeae gen. et sp. nov., from an artesian well in San Marcos, Texas, USA. The new genus has diagnostic characteristics that distinguish it from other genera in Candonidae, including the asymmetric shape of the valves, the smooth central area on the external surface of the valves, the hexagonal ornamentations around the marginal ends of the carapace, the dense spines on the marginal edges of the right valve and the dorsal prolongation and tubercles seen from inside the ventral edges of the left valve. Additional differences in the soft body parts of the male and female (e.g., claw-like uropod, shape of hemipenis, long Y aesthetascs, two short or reduced exopods on antenna, reduced numbers of setae and segments on other extremities) distinguish the new genus from others in the family. The discovery of this species from a deep artesian well contributes important information to our understanding of groundwater species diversity in a biologically diverse aquifer where the ostracod fauna has been unstudied.
