Summary

New, well-preserved material of the Ordovician proetacean trilobite Rorringtonia, hitherto of uncertain taxonomic position, indicates that it belongs to the aulacopleurid subfamily Scharyiinae. It also elucidates the position of another problematic proetacean, Analocaspis, which is now considered to be congeneric with Rorringtonia.
