Nevadia saupeae n. sp. (Fig. 6.1, 6.2, 6.4) Type material. Holotype KUMIP 320711 and paratype PWNHC-2009.20.21 from Nevadella zone, Early Cambrian, Sekwi Formation, Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories, Canada (Sections 2 and 14 in float). There are a total of 2 specimens. Etymology. Named in honor of Erin Saupe, University of Kansas, for her assistance with laboratory techniques that facilitated the completion of this research. Diagnosis. Laterally, anterior cephalic border width, when measured perpendicularly to a line tangent to the margin of the cephalon, is equal to length (sag.) of LO; length (exsag.) of genal spines less than length (sag.) of LO; extraocular area very broad (tr.). Description. Cephalic length (sag.) 40–50 percent of width (tr.). Anterior cephalic border with width (measured perpendicular to a tangent to the margin) at the midpoint between anteriormost point of the border and inner spine angle equal to length (sag.) of LO. LA is about 35–45 percent length (sag.) of glabella; ... : Published as part of Gapp, Wesley, Lieberman, Bruce S., Pope, Michael C. & Dilliard, Kelly A., 2011, New olenelline trilobites from the Northwest Territories, Canada, and the phylogenetic placement of Judomia absita Fritz, 1973, pp. 15-28 in Zootaxa 2918 on pages 22-23, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.202343 ...
