Abstract

Ostracodes from the Tuloi (Floian, Dapingian and the lower Darriwilian) and Karasu (Darriwilian and Sandbian) formations of the northeastern Gorny Altai are discussed and several ostracode localities are briefly described. Two new species Soanella tuloica sp. nov. and Maraphonia caliginosa sp. nov. are described and figured. The previously described forms are only illustrated.
