Paracypris sp. 1 (Pl. VI: 8) Remarks: A very narrow form with wide symmetrical dorsal arch, with shallow symmetrical ventral concavity, with nearly ventral and rather pointed posterior end. The most similar form is Paracypris sp. in ROSENFELD et al. (1987) Pl. 1., f. 5. Dimensions: L = 0.70 mm, H = 0.29 mm, L/H = 2.41 Material: 4 specimens. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of 1450 specimens discernible on species level we can imagine the main characater of the Pliensbachian ostracoda fauna of the localities treated in the introduction (Fig. 5). Fig. 5. Distribution of ostracods in the investigated Pliensbachian samples. Legend: 1. Polycope, 2. Healdidae, 3. Cardobairdia, 4. Bairdia, 5. Lobobairdia, 6. Ptychobairdia, 7. Bythocypridae, 8. Paracypris The high specimen number of genera reminds of the faunas of Triassic carbonate platforms and their surroundings: the amount of Lodobairdia and Ptychobairdia is conspicous. They consist of 28% of all specimens. This character is similar to the Pliensbachian fauna of the Pontids (Turkey) (LORD & LAMBOURNE 1991). From the 17 species described in this work 10 are new and 7 are known. The 7 known species are inhabitants of the epicontinental seas of Europa and their participation in the specimen number is far less (~ 17 %) than in species number. A very significant character is the total absence of the cytherids dominant in the epicontinental Jurassic fauna. On the basis of frequent Lodobairdia-Piychobairdia, the investigated materials came from the submerged "highs" (seamounts) of the Pliensbachian inner Tethys. These
