Abstract

A total of 45 genera and 64 species of ostracods have been identified from nine shallow marine sediments ranging in depth from 0.40 to 1 m, collected along the coast line of Aden, Little Aden and Amran volcanic peninsulas. A systematic study of these ostracods is presented in this paper. One new genus, Microhoweina, is erected, and five new species, Corallicythere adenensis, Cytherella brettingi, Microhoweina elongata, Neocytheromorpha tawahinsis and Paracytheroma abyanensis, are described. The fauna shows a close similarity to other ostracod assemblages of the Indo-Pacific, East and West African coasts and Red Sea regions. Tanella gracilis Kingma 1948 and Kotoracythere inconspicua (Brady 1880) are the most abundant species.
