Remarks: The genus name originally proposed as Aphelocythere Hobbs & Peters, 1977 was preoccupied by Aphelocythere Triebel & Klingler, 1959, erected to accept the type species, Aphelocythere undulata, a fossil marine cytherid ostracod. The name Waltoncythere was erected in 1978 to replace this homonym.
