    Aside from rendering the google search function useless, the other spelling had quite an unintended connotation! :o :P

    I found some additional info in this recent paper:

     

    Lerosey-Aubril, R., Paterson, J.R., Gibb, S.L., & Chatterton, B.D.E. (2017)

    Exceptionally-preserved late Cambrian fossils from the McKay Group (British Columbia, Canada) and the evolution of tagmosis in aglaspidid arthropods.

    Gondwana Research, 42:264-279  LINK

     

    The monograph is cited: Chatterton, B.D.E., & Gibb, S.L. (2016)

    Unfortunately, it is still not listed at the GAC Bookstore.

     

    The Gondwana Research paper confirms:

    Parabolinoides designated as a subgenus: Orygmaspis (Parabolinoides) contracta
