Robustaurila assimilis is a species of ostracod in the family Hemicytheridae, [2] that was first described in 1913 by Kajiyama as Cythereis assimilis. [2] [3] In 1982 Michiko Yajima transferred it to her newly described genus, Robustaurila , to give the current name Robustaurila assimilis. [4] [5]
This ostracod lives in marine waters, [2] off the coasts of Korea, [1] and Japan. [3] [5]
