摘要: A single specimen of a new genus and species the trilobite family Burlingiidae from lower part Middle Cambrian in Morocco augments both geographic distribution to continent West Gondwana modern Africa stratigraphic range base Cambrian. reconsideration assigned Schmalenseeia requires revision genus. acutangula Westergard, 1948, previously discussed as atypical for Schmalenseeia, is separated type Niordilobites, its characters relation other are discussed. jagoi Whittington, 1994 differ Burlingia well raised Alumenella n. gen. fusilis Peng et al., 2004, unique because fusion tagmata, Pengia. laevis 1936 retained distinct species, it...
