Stmocvpria ,fischeri (Lilljeborg. 1883) and the hypogean species Pseudocuntiona cf. eremito (Vecijvosky. 18x2) and Pseudocandoncr hrruili (Paris, 1920) arc reported from Britain for the first time.

INTRODUCTION work accrued. Despite this, J. E. Robinson’s Pleistocene and Over recent years there has been renewed interest in Holocene studies continued to document faunas, as freshwater ostracods, particularly because of their potential occasionally have archaeological (e.g. Griffiths & Mount, in palaeolimnological and palaeohydrological studies (see 1993) and modern synecological works (e.g. Ham, 1982). reviews by Delorme, 1989; De Deckker & Forester, 1988: An updated check-list of freshwater Ostracoda was made Carbonel et a/. 1988; Holmes, in press). This increase in as part of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology’s attempt to ecological interest has been accompanied by a spate of compile a complete listing of British freshwater taxonomic and systematic research that has done much to (Maitland, 1977). This was not based upon the work of a increase our understanding of evolutionary patterns and single individual, but gleaned from a variety of sources, processes in freshwater Ostracoda.
