| Summary: | The type species of the trilobite Hadrohybus Raymond 1925, H. dunbari from the Cow Head Group of western Newfoundland, is redescribed here. It has been regarded as a cheirurid, but analysis of its cranidial characters show that it is a bathyurid closely related to the well-known Early Ordovician genus Bolbocephalus, and it is considered to be a subgenus of that form. It is probably of early Middle Ordovician age. A second Hadrohybus species occurs in the late Early Ordovician of Vermont. |
