New Permian ostracods from Greece (Hydra Island)

A new Permian (Late Asselian–Dorashamian) ostracod fauna (66 species belonging to 35 genera) from Hydra Island (Greece) is described. Twelve new species are described: Hollinella (P.) hydraensis Crasquin-Soleau n.sp, Bairdia episkopiensis Crasquin-Soleau n.sp., Bairdia rigasensis Crasquin-Soleau n.sp., Bairdia thikiaensis Crasquin-Soleau n.sp., Chamishaella marmariensis Crasquin-Soleau n.sp., Cypridina gussevaae Crasquin-Soleau n.sp., Cyathus barmariensis Crasquin-Soleau n.sp., Cyathus klimakiensis Crasquin-Soleau n.sp., Bairdiacypris bistiensis Crasquin-Soleau n.sp., Shishaella hellenensis Crasquin-Soleau n.sp., Bairdia ishizakii Crasquin-Soleau n.sp., Petasobairdia kozuri Crasquin-Soleau n.sp. Forty-four other species are figured. This assemblage is characteristic of a shallow water platform. The palaeobiogeographic relationships are presented and represent significant additions to the Permian Palaeo-Tethyan ostracod faunas.
