Abstract

In her publication on a Holocene sedimentary succession of the Eastern Adriatic coast, here in the same volume, the author V. Hajek-Tadesse describes a new ostracod (Crustacea) species. She assigns it to the previously monospecific genusJuxilyocyprisKempf, 2011, which is now holding the two fossil speciesJ. schwarzbachi(Kempf, 1967) andJ. kempfiHajek-Tadesse, 2018. These three taxa, and their taxonomic proximity give a perfect memento of three palaeontologists of the Cologne University, whose lives and achievements were similarly interwoven.
