(5) The genus Candonocypris Sars, 1894 View in CoL

is diagnosed, among others, by a spatulate terminal Mx1-palp segment and two so-called ‘f’-setae on the cleaning leg (L7, T3) ( Martens 2001a, 2001b; Karanovic 2012). From this, it follows that a number of species commonly assigned to Candonocypris do not belong there: C. deeveyi Tressler, 1954 , C. pascheri (Brehm, 1923) and C. pugionis Furtos, 1936 carry one single f-seta on their cleaning leg, while C. fitzroyi McKenzie, 1966 has a cylindrical terminal segment on its Mx1-palp. Candonocypris pugionis fits into the genus Trajancypris and is here transferred to that genus (see below). As no other genus is readily available for the other species, they are provisionally kept in Candonocypris , but are here flagged as needing a new genus assignment.
