Abstract—Carapaces or valves of 12 species of larger bivalve arthropods and one spe- cies of an associated univalve are described from Middle Cambrian strata of northern and western Utah. Some of these bivalve species represent phyllocarid Malacostraca whereas others may represent either phyllocarids or Branchiopoda. Af- finity of the univalve species is less certain. One genus and five species of larger bi- valves are new, the new genus being Dicerocaris and the new species being Dicerocaris opisthoeces, Perspicaris? dziatus, Perspicaris? ellipsopelta, guntheri, and Tuzoia? pet erseni. Specimens of Branchiocaris? sp., Canadaspis cf. C. perfecta (Walcott), Dioxycaris argenta (Walcott), Proboscicaris agnosta Rolfe, Pseudoarc- tole pis sharpi Brooks and Caster, Tuzoia retifera Walcott, and an undetermined genus and species are illustrated and discussed. Three distinctive univalve carapaces are assigned to the new genus and new species Pahvantia hastata. Collectively, the specimens provide important information concerning the distribution and species diversity of a poorly known element of the Cambrian fauna.
