Abstract

The stratigraphically important ostracod genera Plumhoffia Brand, 1990 (family Cytheruridae) and Aaleniella Plumhoff, 1963 (family Eucytheridae) from the Upper Bajocian and Lower Bathonian of the Volga Region (Sokur Section, Saratov Region) and central Russia (Obval Borehole, Penza Region) are revised, and updated and expanded descriptions are provided. Four species are described. A neotype is designated for Plumhoffia tricostata (Khabarova, 1955); three others: Aaleniella franzi, A. volganica, and A.? ovoidea are described as new. Their distribution along the Sokur reference section of the Upper Bajocian (Michalskii ammonite Zone)–Lower Bathonian (Besnosovi ammonite Zone) of the Volga Region allows development of detailed ostracod-based biostratigraphy and correlation of the sections studied with synchronous deposits of Western Europe.

Notes

  1. When describing the hinge, the dental formula is used, where the first figure corresponds to the number of sequences of anterior tooth [that in square brackets characterizes the structure of a groove, if the preservation allows counting the number of pits], and the last digit is the number of sequences of posterior tooth.
