Genus Cupitheca Duan in Xing et al., 1984 Type species : Cupitheca brevituba Duan in Xing et al., 1984, lower Cambrian, South China. Diagnosis. —See Bengtson et al. (1990: 203). Remarks .—For detailed discussion and taxonomic history see Malinky and Skovsted (2004: 568–569), Pan et al. (2015: 388) and Skovsted et al. (2016: 125). Stratigraphic and geographic range .—Cambrian; Terreneuvian Fortunian to Series 3 Stage 5; since the biostratigraphic correlation of “Lower Limestone” (= Maseong Formation) is not clear (Lee 2008), the age of C. cf. mira reported by Lee (2008) should be questioned. Distributed in China (Pan et al. 2015), Korea (Lee 2008), Australia (Kruse et al. 2004; Skovsted et al. 2016), Antarctica (Wrona 2003), Greenland Malinky and Skovsted 2004), Newfoundland (Skovsted and Peel 2007), Spain (Jensen et al. 2010), India (Gilbert et al. 2016; Hughes 2016), possibly Kazakhstan and England Malinky and Skovsted 2004; see also SOM 2).
