Type specimen This species is one of the many ostracod specis poorly described and illustrated in the 19th Century, which was posteriorly recorded from many distant localities in the world oceans. Its identity is still uncertain, because no holotype nor lectotype has been designated so far. Several authors have identified trachyleberidid spiny valves as Cythere melobesioides, also with distinct generic assignments (e.g., Apatihowella, Echinocythereis, Henryhowella). However a definitive generic assignment for this species must await a lectotype or neotype designation. [details]
