Abstract

This work is the first compilation of data on ostracods from a continuous Lower Sarmatian succession. The determination, detailed descriptions and illustrations of the following 17 species are provided: Leptocythere tenuis (REUSS) s. l., Callistocythere maculata PIETRZENIUK, Callistocythere tokajensis PIETRZENIUK, Callistocythere egregia (MÉHES), Hemicyprideis dacica dacica (HÉJJAS), Cytheridea hungarica ZALÁNYI, Miocyprideis sarmatica (ZALÁNYI), Hemicytheria omphalodes (REUSS), Aurila méhesi (ZALÁNYI), Tenedocythere cruciata BONADUCE, RUGGIERI et RUSSO, Senesia vadászi (ZALÁNYI), Loxoconcha.ex gr. punctatella (REUSS), Loxocorniculum schmidi (CERNAJSEK), Loxocorniculum hastata (REUSS), Xestoleberis fuscata SCHNEIDER, and Argilloecia sarmatica JIŘIČEK. Both forms of the Mediterranean relict fauna and of the endemic fauna evolved in the Parathetys are present. Generally Sarmatian ostracod fauna shows low diversity and high abundance. Some ostracod species reflect a significant reduction of ornamentation, which suggests a change in the environment and decrease in salinity.
