Ostracods are small bivalved crustaceans widely distributed in aquatic environments
and in total 99 species have been recorded in genus Euphilomedes Kornicker, 1967.
In this study, we further describe two new species of benthic ostracods in this genus,
Euphilomedes liuruiyii sp. nov. and Euphilomedes pentacanthos sp. nov., collected
from the Taiwan Strait in China. These two species can be easily distinguished
from their congeners by some crucial morphological characteristics, including the
carapace shape, the numbers of main and secondary furcal claws, and their
arrangement of furcal claws. In addition the first antenna, endopod of second
antenna, frontal organ, mandible and the seventh limb also differentiate these two
species from related species.
