Abstract
In order to enrich the knowledge on ostracods in Serbia, field work was carried out in the central and southern part of the Banat district during 2002 and 2003. Samples from the collection of the Institute of Zoology, Faculty of Biology in Belgrade were also examined. Altogether, 133 samples were investigated. In this research, 23 ostracod species were found. Most of them have a Palaearctic distribution. Ilyocypris decipiens, Bradleycypris obliqua and Tanycypris pellucida are new to the faunas of Serbia and Montenegro, as is the subfamily Cypricercinae. Three species were found again after several decades, including a new and stabile population of Candona natronophila Petkovski, 1969. The most frequent species were Cypridopsis vidua and Physocypria kraepelini. Statistical analysis of ostracod communities and their relations to measured ecological variables is also given.
