Abstract

AbstractThis study reports five ostracod taxa from the Middle Devonian Naidaijin Formation, Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan comprising shelf‐nearshore beyrichiid and bairdiocypridoid species, and two species of Bairdia. This is the first report of ostracod fossils from the Devonian strata in the Kurosegawa belt. Most analyzed fossils are the same species as those found in the Middle Devonian strata of Yunnan and Guangxi provinces in South China, indicating that the Kurosegawa belt of Kyushu shared biogeographical affinities with the palaeo‐equatorial South China paleocontinent.
