(13) Strandesia gibbosa (Baird, 1838) comb. nov.

The genus Sataracypris Deb, 1983 was erected to include the single species Cypris gibbosa Baird, 1838 , which is characterized by the presence of a conspicuous dorsal hump on both valves. Savatenalinton (2015) pointed out that a similar hump is also seen in Strandesia martensi Savatenalinton, 2015 and that both species therefore probably belong to the same lineage within Strandesia s. lat. Sataracypris gibbosa is here tentatively transferred to the genus Strandesia . The presence/absence of the so-called Triebel’s loop on the attachment of the uropodal ramus – a character that remains undescribed in S. gibbosa – should confirm or invalidate the new combination proposed here.
