Lineocypris sp.

Description. The carapace is elongated, rectangular to trapezoidal in lateral view. The LV is slightly larger than the RV. The height of the carapace in general seems less than half the length. The anterior-and the posterior end are rounded in the lower part and slanted in the upper. The latter is more sharply slanted, prolonged and compressed. The dorsal margin is short and runs straight, parallel to the ventral margin that is slightly concave in the median area. The valves surface appears smooth. The inner lamella is moderately well developed in the both the anterior and posterior margin. The hinge is adont and the dorsal margin of the smaller RV fits into a shallow groove in the LV. Dimension: l = 1,15- 1,30 mm, h = 0,61- 0,73 mm.

Ecology. The genus has been described from limnic to mesohaline waters ( Morkhoven 1962; Sokač, 1972).
