Diagnosis. L = 1.02–1.03 mm, H = 0.34 mm. Carapace in lateral view elongated. Surface of the valves smooth. Dorsal margin almost straight. Ventral margin slightly curved. T3 without pincer organ, the subterminal segment undivided. CR long, stout with fine setules on the dorsal margin. Males unknown ( Hartmann 1965).

History. Hartmann (1965) was uncertain about this species. He assigned it to Dolerocypris , because he could not find characteristics differing from the generic diagnosis of Dolerocypris . Petkovski, in the discussion following Rome's talk during the 2nd International Symposium on Ostracoda (discussion published in Rome 1969), advanced the position that D. marina belonged to Tanycypris . Martens & Savatenalinton (2011) followed this view without further comment.

Conclusion. The holotype ( ZMH, No. 27603) seems to be lost. No specimens of the type series or any other specimens could be traced, so that currently the generic status of this species cannot be verified .
