Classification Yasuhara & Okahashi (2014) provided an invalid argument when published the combination Polycope martinezi for Archypolycope martinezi Karanovic & Brandão, 2012: "remarks. We use the genus name Polycope in a broad sense following typical deep-sea ostracod taxonomy, but note that recent zoological studies, for example Karanovic & Brandão (2012), divide the genus into several separate genera based on soft parts, which are not preserved in fossil ostracods."The lack of soft parts in fossil specimens does not justify a new combination of a species, nor justifies synonymyzation of a genus.
