新材料表明定远虫(Tingyuania)和双岛虫(Dinesus)这两个三叶虫属是有效的,前者并不是后者的晚出异名。双岛虫类的地质延限被下延至传统早寒武世晚期的清虚洞组。补充描述首次发现的定远虫的尾部,并描述双岛虫的一新种。
New materials show that the Cambrian trilobite Tingyuania Sun et Chang in Chang 1937 is a valid genus, rather than a junior synonym of Dinesus Etheridge, 1896. Specimens assigned to Ting- yuania typica Sun et Chang, 1937, including a pygidium that is the first recorded pygidium for the genus Tingyuania, collected from Laoyingshan Section, Huainan, Anhui Province, are illustrated herein. A new species of Dinesus, D. panxinicus sp. nov., is described from traditionally upper Lower Cambrian Tsingshiutung Formation at Panxin, Guizhou Province.
