Abstract
Type material of 10 genera, one subgenus, 110 species and 28 subspecies described by Wicher (1959), Krmmelbein (1961, 1962, 1963, 1964a,b, 1965a,b), Krmmelbein Weber (1971) and Bate (1972, 1994) are re-illustrated using optical digital technology in order to provide a standard reference for future systematic work and its biostratigraphical and palaeoenvironmental application. The genera are: Brasacypris, Coriacina, Hourcqia, Ilhasina, Looneyellopsis, Pattersoncypris, Petrobrasia, Reconcavona, Salvadoriella, and Tucanocypris, and subgenus Cypridea (Sebastianites).
