Abstract

Taxonomic revision of ostracods of the Pliocene–Pleistocene beds of the Caspian Basin from collections of the VNIGRI and analysis of published data on ostracods of the Ponto–Caspian Sea results in synonymization of 16 species names; one species is provided with a new combination, 40 identifications are improved, and 12 erroneous spellings of ostracod names by certain authors are revealed.
