Moroccan Trilobite Andegavia Reassigned!

Recommended Posts

This excellent new paper reassigns Andegavia as: Heliopeltis

 
Quote
The genus Andegavia Pillet is discarded after we show that its type species is an indeterminable scutelluid fragment.
The new genus Heliopeltis with two species, H. ihmadii gen. et sp. nov. and H. johnsoni gen. et sp. nov., is erected.
