Halocyprididae

	Halocyprididae Halocypridae is a family of ostracods in the order Halocyprida. Some members are bioluminescent, such as ''Conchoecia pseudodiscophora'', and are believed to use coelenterazine and a coelenterazine luciferase, rather than vargulin. Genera The following genera are recognised in the family Halocyprididae: ''Alacia'' ''Archiconchoecemma'' ''Archiconchoecerra'' ''Archiconchoecetta'' ''Archiconchoecia'' ''Archiconchoecilla'' ''Archiconchoecinna'' ''Archiconchoecissa'' ''Austrinoecia'' ''Bathyconchoecetta'' ''Bathyconchoecia'' ''Boroecia'' ''Chavturia'' ''Clausoecia'' ''Conchoecetta'' ''Conchoecia'' ''Conchoecilla'' ''Conchoecissa'' ''Deeveyoecia'' ''Discoconchoecia'' ''Euconchoecia'' ''Fellia'' ''Gaussicia'' ''Halocypretta'' ''Halocypria'' ''Halocypris'' ''Hyalocoecia'' ''Juryoecia'' ''Kyrtoecia'' ''Lophuroecia'' ''Loricoecia'' ''Macrochoecilla'' ''Macroconchoecia'' ''Mamilloecia'' ''Metaconchoecia'' ''Mikroconch ...

	Conchoecia ''Conchoecia'' is a genus of ostracods in the subfamily Conchoeciinae. The genus contains bioluminescent species. ''Conchoecia'' have a coelenterazine luciferin based bioluminescent system, unlike the cypridinid luciferin based system found in the Cypridinidae Cypridinidae is a family of ostracods. About half of all known species are bioluminescent Bioluminescence is the emission of light during a chemiluminescence reaction by living organisms. Bioluminescence occurs in multifarious organisms r ....
