Abstract

Six species of the sub-family Cyclocypridinae were found in the Upper Miocene of the Turiec Basin, 4 of which are new Cypria isosceles, C. lenticulata, C. polyphema, C. bodergatiae. The differences in arrangement of the zone of the fusion on ventral margin were used to distinguish the species. The genus Cypria is represented in whole area of the Turiec Basin but the species are restricted to the ecologically well determined biotopes. Valve shape is compared with ecological stability of the paleobiotopes.
