Abstract
A bisexual population of Potamocypris villosa, found in Lago de Encina, a mesotrophic lake in the Cantabrian mountains, NW Spain, is the first certain record of the male of this species. Valves and soft parts are described. Males of Potamocypris-species lack a furca although a rudimentary furca is always present in females. The same applies to species of related genera, such as Tanganyikacypridopsis and Plesiocypridopsis. Some remarks on the position of the genus Potamocypris in the Cyprinopsinae are presented.
