Open publisher page 15 citations

Abstract

In this paper, twenty-four species of nonmarine Cretaceous ostracods in 7 genera {Cypridea, Rhinocypris, Ziziphocypris, Mongolocypris, Timiriasevia, Candona and Darwi- nula) are described from Kitakyushu, Yamaguchi, Hiroshima, Okayama and Hida areas of SWJapan. Eighteen forms of them arc from the Lower Cretaceous rocks and 6 forms from the Upper Cretaceous. Based on their appearance, the correlation concerning Cretaceous ostracod-bearing strata between eastern China and southwestern Japan has also been discussed.
