Abstract
A new ostracod genus established in a Loxoconchinae fauna from the Eastern Paratethys, with two species known from the Pliocene–post-Pliocene and Recent of the Caspian Sea and Dnieper–Bug estuary of the Black Sea Basin is described. Comparative morphological analysis of four Loxoconchinae genera from a brackish-water fauna of the Paratethyan basins is performed and the trends in morphological evolution of their hinge structures are revealed.
