应用聚类分析探讨我国原Metaredlichioides Chien and Yao,1974属中13个种和产于哈萨克斯坦的Ushbaspis属的模式种——Ushbaspis granulata Pokrovskaya,1965的分类。将我国原Metaredlichioides属中13个种归并和修订为4个种：Ushbaspis constricta （Chien and Yao）,U.hubeiensis（Lin）,U.meiziwanensis（Yin）和U．shiqianensis（Yin）。并对Metaredlichioides与Ushbaspis两个属的模式种进行定量分析，所取得的结论与张文堂（Chang et al．，1997）以定性分析提出Metaredlichioides是Ushbaspis的晚出异名的意见完全一致。

英文摘要：

In the present paper, the method of ＂Q-mode cluster analysis＂ is used in a taxonomic study of 14 cranidia belonging to Ushbaspis trilobite species in the Series 2 of Cambrian. The statistical measurement of similarity is the incremental sum of error squares （AE）. Here, the author uses the variables in the ratio form （8）. The resemblance relation matrices of all specimens are formed through calculation of the increments of sum of error squares between those specimens （see Table II）. Finally, the two-dimensional dendrogram is drawn by stepwise calculation （see text-fig. 3）. The dendrogram is divided into five groups by the line having a value of increments of sum of error squares 0.35. They correspond to： Species group of Ushbaspis granulata Pokrov- skaya, 1965 （Species Group A） , which has only one choice for the type species of Ushbaspis （see text-fig. 1.14）. Species group of Metaredlichioides hubeiensis Lin, 1978 （Species Group B） - contains four species including Metaredlichioides hubeiensis Lin, 1978 （see text-fig. 1. 2 ）; Metaredlichioides conicus Zhang, 1981 （see text-fig. 1. 12）; Metared-lichioides tarimenensis Zhang, 1981 （see text-fig1. 13） ; Metaredlichioides kalpinensis Zhang, 1981 （see text-fig. 1.11）. Species group of Metaredlichioides constrictus Chien and Yao, 1974 （Species Group C） - contains three species including Metaredlichioides const- rictus Chien and Yao, 1974 （see text-fig. 1. 1）; Metaredlichioides sichuanensis Qian and Yao, 1980 （see text-fig. 1. 7）;Metaredlichioides danzhaiensis Zhang and Lin , 1980 （see text-fig. 1. 10）. Species group of Metaredlichioides meizi- wanensis Yin, 1978 （Species Group D） - contains five species..Metaredlichioides constrictus Qian and Yao （ see text-fig. 1. 3 ）; Metaredlichioides szechuanensis Chien and Yao （see text-fig. 1. 4）; Metaredlichioides meiziwanensis Yin, 1978 （see text-fig. 1. 5 ） including Metaredlichioides long- xiensis Zhang, Lin and Zhou, 1980 （see text-fi
