Gigantocypris
The giant ostracod (''Gigantocypris'') or the giant seed shrimp is a genus of ostracod crustaceans in family Cypridinidae, and among the most well-known members of the class Ostracoda (together with ''Vargula hilgendorfii''). Its members are extremely large for ostracods, measuring up to across, have a globular shape, are typically semi-transparent orange or reddish, and while compound eyes are absent they have a large pair of mirror-like naupliar eyes that are used to locate their small animal prey. They are found worldwide in dark, deep and cold oceans. Range and habitat ''Gigantocypris'' are ubiquitous in open oceans around the world, ranging from tropical to polar regions. Although locally abundant, the distributions of the individual species are often not well known. ''G. dracontovalis'' is found worldwide, mostly deeper than the other species. ''G. agassizii'' is essentially a widespread Pacific species, and ''G. muelleri'' a widespread Atlantic and Southern Ocean specie ...

Photeros
''Photeros'' is a genus in the Cypridinidae. The genus contains bioluminescent species, and is one of the genera of bioluminescent ostracod Ostracods, or ostracodes, are a class of the Crustacea (class Ostracoda), sometimes known as seed shrimp. Some 70,000 species (only 13,000 of which are extant) have been identified, grouped into several orders. They are small crustaceans, typi ...s which show stereotyped bioluminescent mating signals.

Azygocypridina
''Azygocypridina'' is a genus of ostracods in the family Cypridinidae Cypridinidae is a family of ostracods, containing the following genera: *'' Amphisiphonostra'' Poulsen, 1962 *'' Azygocypridina'' Sylvester-Bradley, 1950 *'' Bathyvargula'' Kornicker, 1968 *'' Codonocera'' Brady, 1902 *'' Cypridina'' Milne-Edwa ..., which appears to be "the least derived living ostracod", having remained largely unchanged for 350 million years. It contains the following species: *'' Azygocypridina africanus'' (Stebbing, 1902) *'' Azygocypridina birsteini'' Rudjakov, 1961 *'' Azygocypridina brynmawria'' Diamond, de Forges & Kornicker, 2008 *'' Azygocypridina gibber'' (Muller, 1906) *'' Azygocypridina grimaldii'' (Granata, 1919) *'' Azygocypridina imperator'' (Brady, 1880) *'' Azygocypridina imperialis'' (Stebbing, 1901) *'' Azygocypridina lowryi'' Kornicker, 1985 *'' Azygocypridina ohtai'' Hiruta, 1981 *'' Azygocypridina rudjakovi'' Kornicker, 1970 References Myodocopida Ostracod gene ...

Maristella (crustacean)
''Maristella'' is a genus of ostracods belonging to the Myodocopida (Cypridinidae). The genus belongs to a diverse clade of Caribbean bioluminescent ostracods. Males perform species-specific luminescent courtship displays. It was chosen as one of the top ten species of 2019WoRMS top 10 - 2019: Maristella chicoi The video showing these light displays can be seehere ''Maristella'' is with seven species the most species-rich genus of the family.

Ostracod
Ostracods, or ostracodes, are a class of the Crustacea (class Ostracoda), sometimes known as seed shrimp. Some 70,000 species (only 13,000 of which are extant) have been identified, grouped into several orders. They are small crustaceans, typically around in size, but varying from in the case of ''Gigantocypris''. Their bodies are flattened from side to side and protected by a bivalve-like, chitinous or calcareous valve or "shell". The hinge of the two valves is in the upper (dorsal) region of the body. Ostracods are grouped together based on gross morphology. While early work indicated the group may not be monophyletic and early molecular phylogeny was ambiguous on this front, recent combined analyses of molecular and morphological data found support for monophyly in analyses with broadest taxon sampling. Ecologically, marine ostracods can be part of the zooplankton or (most commonly) are part of the benthos, living on or inside the upper layer of the sea floor. While Myodoc ...
