Typhlocypris is a genus of ostracods, which are a class of small, bivalved crustaceans. It includes Pseudocandona, formerly recognised as a separate genus, as one of its two constituent subgenera. The nominate subgenus is divided into four species groups: the eremita species group, the caribbeana species group, the rostrata species group, and the prespica species group.
