Notes
This is a close relative of Akantharges mbareki but the Akantharges is more ornate. In particular, if you look at the upper edge of rear of the pygidium the Basseiarges has a row of bumps while the Arkantharges has a sequence of deep indentations and prominent knobs. These two trilobites should probably have been made different species in the same genus.
