PONTOCYPRIDAE Alm 1915,p.27, a "Gruppe" of Cypridae for the 
genera Argilloecia, Pontocypria, Erythrocypris, 
and Pontocypris.

and Argilloecia.

PONTOCYPRIS [3 genosyntypes: P. serrulata, P. hispida, P. 
trigonella. Cythere (Bairdia) mytiloides Norman 
1862a,p.50,pl1.3,f.-l-3 was designated by Brady and 
Norman 1889,p.107, with P. serrulata as a synonym] 
Sars 1866 [Cypridae-Pontocyprinae by Miiller 1894, 
p26} Recent, off northwestern Europe. The 
designation of Cythere mytiloides by Sars 1923, 
pe 50-51, as genotype of Erythrocypris, and by 
Sars 1923,pe46 of P. trigonella as genotype of 
Pontocypris as therefore both invalid. It means 
that the species given by G. W. Miiller 1912, and 
Sars 1923 as Erythrocypris belong to Pontocypris, 
and those they considered Pontocypris as exempli- 
fied by P. trigonella, must now be placed in 
Propontocypris Sylvester-Bradley 1947,p.193.~
