Bairdia expansa Brady 1880

Description

Bairdia expansa Brady, 1880

History: Brady (1880) described B. expansa from off Honolulu. Puri & Hulings (1976) designated and illustrated the lectotype.

The species was reported by Brady (1890) from tide-pools in Samoa and by Chapman (1910) from deep-water dredgings near Funafuti (not illustrated). Holden (1967) identified fossils from drowned terraces of the Hawaiian Islands. It was not reported by Holden (1976) from Midway.

The reclassification in Neonesidea by Eagar (1971, without discussion, in a checklist of New Zealand Ostracoda) is unsupported. An updated generic classification must await additional information.

Conclusions: B. expansa should be easily identifiable but does not occur in the material studied here.
