Remarks

Shornikov (1980) placed Callistocypridinae next to Cyprettinae and Cypridopsinae in the family Cypridopsidae . Later, however, Martens (1985) sunk Cypridopsidae into the synonymy of Cyprididae as the flagellate caudal ramus, the main autapomorphy of the Cypridopsidae , also occurs in several other ostracod lineages in Cypridoidea , for example in Oncocypridinae of the Notodromadidae . Until the phylogeny of the Cyprididae s.l. is clarified, Callistocypridinae figures as a subfamily of the Cyprididae .
