Abstract

Sidneyia inexpectans was first excavated in Laurentia, and since then Sidneyia and Sidneyia-like euarthropods have been reported from different continents. Here we describe a new Sidneyia-like euarthropod from the Guanshan biota and, its preserved dorsal exoskeleton and appendages resemble those of S. inexpectans. The discovery in the Guanshan biota provides a new data point of Sidneyia-like euarthropod in Cambrian Stage 4 and a second occurrence on the South China plate.
