Abstract
The family Egorovitinidae is erected for Egorovitina kirssanovi gen. et. sp. nov. a new ostracod with an unusual adductor muscle scar, from the Lower Carboniferous (Visean) deposits of the Novgorod region, U.S.S.R. The presence of a simple calcined inner lamella may indicate that this new family has affinities with the Podocopina.
