Os. 6 Outline classification

Ostracoda
Outline classification

The same classification of Ostracoda has been adopted as used by Athersuch et al. (1989). The subclass Ostracoda is divided into six orders: Myodocopida, Platycopida, Podocopida, Bradoriida, Leperditicopida, and Palaeocopida. The first three orders are extant, the others are extinct. Planktonic ostracods belong to the Myodocopida and are considered here
