1971 Cypridea miritiensis n. sp. —Krömmelbein & Weber, p. 12–13, pl. 1, fig. 2.

Diagnosis: A medium-sized Cypridea species (carapace length on average about 1mm) with a trapezoid rounded outline. Maximum carapace height at extreme anterior on the cardinal angle. Dorsal margin more or less straight, clearly falling away towards the posterior. The rostrum is broad, mostly rounded off, only protruding a little. The rostral sulcus is narrow but distinct, extending up a long way and parallel to the anterior margin. Sculpture: coarse pore dimples on the entire carapace outer surface; large pustules (flattened out, knob-like spines) irregularly distributed, dense on the anterior valve surface area (in the region of the eye) and also on the posterior and lower valve surface, leaving free the area of the flat, sulcus-like valve indentation from the dorsal margin to above the middle of the valve.

Holotype: Carapace, BfB 7768.

Paratypes: 3 carapaces, BfB 7769.

Dimensions: Holotype, length 0.97mm, height 0.60mm, width 0.47mm.
