description: Genus Eusarsiella Cohen & Kornicker, 1975
Type species: Sarsiella tumida Scott, 1905 by subsequent designation in Cohen & Kornicker (1975).
Diagnosis. The most species-rich genus of the subfamily Sarsiellinae, with c-, f-, and g-bristles not claw-like on the first limb and the d-bristle present. These ostracods have an anterior incisure and the posterior infold bears a row of spinous bristles. In females, the seventh limb bears paired, terminal teeth. Each lamella of the furca with five claws; claw 1 fused to the lamella, claws 2–5 separated from lamella by suture. Claws decrease in length posteriorly along lamella. For a key to Sarsiellidae, see Kornicker (1986).

The genus includes 78 species— Eusarsiella absens (Kornicker, 1981); E. africana (Kornicker & Caraion, 1978); E. alata Poulsen, 1965; E. antipex Kornicker, 1995; E. asciformis (Hall, 1987); E. athrix Kornicker, 1986; E. bakeri Kornicker, 1986; E. bedoyai Baltanas, 1992; E. bex Kornicker, 1994; E. capillaris (Kornicker, 1958); E. carinata (Kornicker, 1958); E. chessi Kornicker, 1991; E. childi Kornicker, 1986; E. claviformis (Hall, 1987); E. concentricostata Hartmann, 1974; E. cornuta Poulsen, 1965; E. costata (Kornicker, 1958); E. cresseyi Kornicker, 1986; E. culteri Kornicker, 1986; E. dentifera Poulsen, 1965; E. dispar Kornicker, 1986; E. disparilis (Darby, 1965); E. dominicana Kornicker, 1986; E. donabbotti Cohen, 1989; E. dornellasae (Kornicker & Caraion, 1978); E. edax Kornicker, 1994; E. elofsoni Kornicker, 1986; E. fallomagna Kornicker, 1994; E. falx Kornicker, 1992; E. fax Kornicker, Iliffe & Harrison-Nelson, 2007; E. gettlesoni Kornicker, 1986; E. gigacantha (Kornicker, 1958); E. gomoiui (Kornicker & Caraion, 1978); E. greyi (Darby, 1965); E. iayx Kornicker, 1994; E. janicea (Kornicker, 1976); E. longipenna Poulsen, 1965; E. lunata (Kornicker, 1975); E. magna Poulsen, 1965; E. maurae (Kornicker, 1977); E. microthrix (Chavtur, 1983); E. neapolis (Kornicker, 1974); E. nodimarginis (Darby, 1965); E. ocula (Kornicker & Caraion, 1978); E. ovalis Poulsen, 1965; E. ozotothrix (Kornicker & Bowen, 1976); E. paniculata Kornicker, 1986; E. phrix Kornicker, 1996; E. pilipollicis (Darby, 1965); E. pseudospinosa (Baker, 1977); E. punctata (Kornicker, 1958); E. radiicosta (Darby, 1965); E. reticulata (Hall, 1987); E. rudescui (Kornicker & Caraion, 1978); E. rugosa (Poulsen, 1965); E. ryanae Kornicker & Iliffe, 2000; E. saengeri Kornicker, 1996; E. sculpta (Brady, 1890); E. segrex Kornicker, 1995; E. serrata (Hall, 1987); E. spadix Kornicker, 1995; E. spicata Poulsen, 1965; E. spinosa (Kornicker & Wise, 1962); E. springthorpei (Hall, 1987); E. syrinx Kornicker, Iliffe & Harrison-Nelson, 2007; E. tampa Kornicker & Grabe, 2000; E. texana (Kornicker & Wise, 1962); E. thominx Kornicker, 1987; E. truncana (Kornicker, 1958); E. tryx Kornicker, 1996; E. tubipora (Darby, 1965); E. tumida (Scott, 1905); E. uncus Kornicker, 1986; E. vema Kornicker, 1986; E. venezuelensis Kornicker, 1986; E. vernix Kornicker, 1996; E. warneri Kornicker, Iliffe & Harrison-Nelson, 2002; E. zostericola (Cushman, 1906).
