An unnamed formation from near La Tagua, Colombia, and the Pebas Beds of Peru contains ostracod faunas that provide new information on the environment of deposition and the probable age o sediments. The ostracods are a mixture of freshwater, brackish, and marine species, from what was essenl a brackish-water environment. Fifteen species, of which nine are new, are described, together with two subspecies. Three genera—Botulocyprideis, Otarocyprideis, and Rhadinocytherura—are new.
