介形类三新种：Loxoconcha noharai sp.、桑托斯乳杆菌(L.santosi sp.)11月和厚壳乳杆菌Lesokoensis sp.11月，描述于日本南部冲绳群岛。两个种为Loxoconcha noharai sp.11月和桑托斯乳杆菌(L.santosi sp.)11月生活在河口，而物种L.esokoensis sp.11月生活在珊瑚礁上。根据它们的形态差异，主要是在雄性交配器官和气孔系统的分布模式，这些物种很容易与以前描述的其他Loxoconcha物种区分开来。此外，还发现细叶海棠L.seokoensis sp.11月被认为在系统发育上不同于日本和邻近海域迄今报道的任何其他Loxoconcha物种。
Three new species of Ostracoda, Loxoconcha noharai sp. nov., L. santosi sp. nov. and L. sesokoensis sp. nov., are described from the Okinawa Islands, southern Japan. The two species Loxoconcha noharai sp. nov. and L. santosi sp. nov. live in estuaries, whereas the species L. sesokoensis sp. nov. lives in coral reefs. These species can be easily distinguished from other previously described Loxoconcha species by their morphological differences, mainly in the male copulatory organ, and distribution pattern of their pore systems. In addition, L. sesokoensis sp. nov. is suggested to be phylogenetically apart from any other Loxoconcha species which have been reported so far from Japan and the adjacent seas.
