I would appreciate it if you could tell me about the Scotoharpes trilobite.

I would like to know about the species Scotoharpes spasskii, but there is very little information, so I have a question. Is this species completely different from the Harpes species found in Morocco that lived during the Devonian period?  

 

And is Scotoharpes spasskii a rare species of trilobite that is hard to find?  Which is rarer among Russian trilobites: Paraceraurus or Scotoharpes spasskii?

That particular specimen featured in those images looks very heavily restored.

These appear to be two different specimens. Which one were you referring to?

The second one especially

The photos don't have enough resolution to pinpoint any obvious restoration. In any event, they certainly don't appear to be 'heavily' restored.

 

Both specimens compare favorably with the typically well-prepped Russian trilobites.

Here is a hi-res image of the second specimen.  This trilobite is nearly flawless with approximately 1% total restoration.
