Abstract
Ostracods are highly abundant but poorly diversified in the Frasnian/F amennian (F/F) transition beds in the Lijiaping section of Hunan Provi nce, southern China. Sixteen species have been recognized, and the fau na is distinctly dominated by Kloedenellacea, and by the genus Famenel la Polenova, 1953. This assemblage represents probably the first evide nce from Hunan, of an ostracod fauna recovering from the Late Devonian mass extinction event.
