Notes

Despite the partially detached pygidium this is a good example of the species and is my only Silurian member of the Acastidae. The eyes are a very close match for Acastoides henni but that is a Devonian trilobite, so this may be an undescribed species.

In the background of the second image is a partial pygidium of a Dalmatid trilobite.
