| Abstract: | Eleven species belonging to ten genera of fresh water Ostracoda, have been identified from thirteen sediment samples collected from the bottom of permanent streams running along the N-NE part of Socotra Island. The fauna shows close affinity with the S-E African and S-E Asian assemblages, with interesting findings regarding the Palearctic Limnocythere stationis Vávra, 1891. The taxonomy and geographic distribution of the fauna are here discussed in detail. |
