Family: Cyprididae Baird, 1845
Subfamily: Cypricercinae McKenzie, 1971
One species has been reported from Korea:
1. Bradleytriebella tuberculata (Hartmann, 1964)
Dorsal view of a female Bradleytriebella tuberculata, anterior to the right. Length about 0.7 mm. This species typically has two tubercles (bumps) on the carapace in the areas marked with white triangles, giving an angular appearance in dorsal view. However, in some populations these tubercles are weakly expressed or absent (as with this specimen).
External view of a female left valve of Bradleytriebella tuberculata, length 740 microns. The surface of the valves are covered in striations.
External view of a female right valve of Bradleytriebella tuberculata, length 710 microns.
