| Summary: | Genus Plutonides Hicks, 1895 Plutonides Hicks, 1895: 230, 231. — Type species: Plutonia sedgwickii Hicks, 1871, designated by Whittington et al. (1997). Plutonia Hicks, 1869: 69. — Type species: Plutonia sedgwickii Hicks, 1871, by monotypy. Paradoxides (Mawddachites) Fletcher, 2007: 47. — Type species: Paradoxides hicksii Salter, 1866b, by original designation (Fletcher 2007). DIAGNOSIS. — Surface ornamented; glabella widest at S4 furrow, frontal margin bluntly pointed; S2 to S4 present; palpebral lobes oblique, extending from S1 to S4; posterior section of facial suture sigmoidal; thorax with 19 segments; pygidium with one axial ring (based on Hicks 1869; Whittington et al. 1997, with modifications). REMARKS Plutonia was first described by Hicks (1869) but the name Plutonia was used by Stabile (1864) for a genus of Mollusca. Therefore, Hicks (1895) renamed the genus Plutonides which is still recognized today. Fletcher (2007) introduced the subgenus Paradoxides (Mawddachites) based on ‘ Paradoxides hicksii ’ ... : Published as part of Unger, Tanja, Hildenbrand, Anne, Stinnesbeck, Wolfgang & Austermann, Gregor, 2022, Biostratigraphy and taxonomy of polymerid trilobites of the Manuels River Formation (Drumian, middle Cambrian), Newfoundland, Canada, pp. 1051-1087 in Geodiversitas 44 (33) on page 1070, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2022v44a33, http://zenodo.org/record/7477657 ... |
