The species could be a Cypridina (mediterranea?), but I am not at all sure about it.

a marine Ostracode in the Plankton
Ostracodes ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostracod) are a class of the Crustacea and very difficult to photograph, because their body has two valves, which are not very transparent. "My" Ostracode was 1250 µm long. The eye is in the middle of the body.
