Abstract

Two new Oligocene ostracod species, Eucypris lobatoi sp. nov. and Potamocypris taubatensis sp. nov., are herein proposed. This is the first fossil record of these genera in Brazil, and the species identified occur in two distinct phases of the Tremembe Paleolake. It is assumed that Eucypris lobatoi sp. nov. has lived in the oldest and more stable phase of the lake, Potamocypris taubatensis sp. nov., in the youngest and more unstable phase. These data support a previous ostracod-based paleolimnological interpretation which sustains a shallowing trend in the paleolake during the final deposition of the Tremembe Formation. (AU)
