New names for the Trilobite Genera Menevia Lake and Psilocephalus Salter

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Abstract

Menevia and Psilocephalus are names in current use for two genera of Trilobites respectively occurring in the Middle Cambrian and Tremadoc rocks of Wales; both are now known to be invalid, having previously been used for other animals, and the new names Meneviella and Psilocephalina are proposed to replace them.
