Abstract: Ostracods in the superorder Mydocopa, excluding the planktonic
suborder Halocypridina,

which is outside the scope of the present

report, have not previously been reported from Micronesia. A

comprehensive checklist of Ostracoda from southeast Asia is concerned

with the area between 25/sup 0/N and 11/sup 0/S latitude and 140/sup
0/E and 85/sup 0/E longitude. The area includes the western edge of
Micronesia, but a brief perusal of the checklist revealed no listing of

specimens from Micronesia. A small collection of Enewetak ostracods in
the suborder Myodocopina at the National Museum of Natural History,
Smithsonian Institution, contains members of all five families that
comprise the suborder. Although the species in the collection are
capable of swimming, and do so occasionally, they spend most of their
existence crawling on, or burrowing in, the substrate. An exception to
this is members of the mainly pelagic genus Cypridina, which is
represented in the collection by two species. Some of the Enewetak
specimens are illustrated.
