North-east Atlantic off the North-west African coast at Discovery station 9131#19: 20° 14.24’N; 21° 47.06’W; depth 3760– 3510 m; 21 November 1976. Male. Carapace (Fig. 1 A, B). Length (CL) ranges 3.16–3.48 mm (mean 3.30 ± 0.104 mm; n = 19) and the height and breadth are 57.5 % and 40.2 % CL respectively (hereafter all percentages of the carapace length are abbreviated to % CL) for the type specimen. The dorsal margin is almost straight. The ventral margin curves smoothly into the posterior margin. The maximum height is at two-thirds the length and there is a marked anterior taper. The rostra are slightly humped dorsally and are quite short; the distance from the anterior end of the ... : Published as part of Angel, Martin V., 2013, Planktonic ostracods (Myodocopa: Halocyprididae) from abyssopelagic depths in the Atlantic, North Pacific and Gulf of Oman: Chavturia abyssopelagica (n. gen., n. sp.), Halocypretta profunda (n. sp.), Halocypretta parvirostrata Chavtur and Stovbun, 2008 and Halocypretta striata (Müller, 1906), pp. 401-431 in Zootaxa 3709 (5) on pages 403-410, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3709.5.1, http://zenodo.org/record/222440 ...
