Abstract: | A revision of the Pliocene representatives of the Ilyocyprididae genera Ilyocypris Brady and Norman, 1889, and Qinghaicypris Huang, 1979, obtained from lacustrine sediments of the Villarroya section (La Rioja, N. Spain) is presented in this work. Based on carapace morphology and morphometrics, the occurrence in Europe of the genus Qinghaicypris is discussed. This genus is represented in this material by a new species, Qinghaicypris riojensis nov. sp., which is described herein. The occurrence of Ilyocypris and Qinghaicypris within the lacustrine series of Villarroya is analysed in relation to the hydrological evolution of the water bodies, which were very likely climatically driven. Palaeoecological as well as palaeobiogeographical interest of those genera is pointed out in the context of the aquatorium that spread over big areas of Europe during the Pliocene. |
