Three new species of non-marine ostracods (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from small water bodies of northern China.

ABSTRACT: Three new species, Pseudocandonacheni sp. nov., Cyclocyprispangi sp. nov., and Tonnacyprisrectangularis sp. nov., collected from northern China, are described in this study. Pseudocandonacheni, of the compressa group, is difficult to be distinguished from other members of the same group by carapace morphology alone, but can be readily recognised by the structure of the hemipenis comprised of a long lobe a, distally inflated lobe h, and exteriorly pointed lobe b, as well as thick trunks of the male fifth limb endopodites. Cyclocyprispangi, despite its similarity in carapace morphology to its congeners, can be identified based on the morphology of the hemipenis, which bears a slender, slightly curved lobe
