This study focuses on the Holocene and middle Pleistocene ostracod assemblages retrieved from sites M0080, in the Gulf of Alkyonides, and M0078 in the Corinth Gulf. It explores the paleoenvironmental constraints that affected the&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tuberoloxoconcha&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;species' distribution in these two sites and investigates the stratigraphic appearance of the new species&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tuberoloxoconcha aielloi&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in the Corinth basin during deglacial and glacial periods over the last 400,000&amp;nbsp;years. In the Gulf of Corinth, fossil assemblages dominated by&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;T. aielloi&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;n. sp. have identified brackish shallow water environments corresponding to deglacial and glacial phases, when the basin was likely semi-isolated from Mediterranean waters, with high fluvial input lowering the salinity of the waterbody. The study highlights the discontinuous occurrence of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;T. aielloi&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;and its morphotypes, identifying cold phases during MIS 10 and MIS 7d, and warmer phases during MISs 2–3-4-5a. The variability in ornamentation potentially reflects different water chemistry in the two sites. The post-400 ky appearance of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;T. aielloi&lt;/i&gt;, coinciding with the development of the marine connection through the Rion Strait, implies a Mediterranean/Atlantic origin for the genus. This study provides insights into the environmental conditions and evolutionary history of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;T. aielloi&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;species in the Corinth basin, contributing to a broader understanding of benthic species' responses to past and future sea level changes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul id="issue-navigation" class="issue-navigation u-margin-s-bottom u-bg-grey1"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</dc:description>
