Kongqiaoheia rotundata is an asaphid trilobites of the family Raphiophoridae that lived during the late Caradoc of Inner Mongolia, China.
K. rotundata was originally grouped with the so-called Taklamakaniinae, a paraphyletic group of tiny, dwarfed raphiophorids that lived in a deepwater environment in what is now the Tarim Basin, including Pseudampyxina, Nanshanaspis, and Taklamakania.
[2] As with other "taklamakaniids," K. rotundata had a disk-shaped body with a semi-circular cephalon, a bulbous glabellum, and a pair of very long, thin, librigenial spines emanating from the lateral corners of the cephalon.
K. rotundata differs from Taklamakania by lacking a spine on the anterior of the glabellum.
It differs from Nanshanaspis in the shapes of the cephalon, glabellum, pygidium and the various glabellal and pygidial furrows.
