Pseudoarctolepis

Pseudoarctolepis (meaning "false Arctolepis") is an extinct genus of bivalved arthropod known from the Cambrian period.

The type species, P. sharpi was described by Brooks & Caster in 1956 from specimens found in the Wheeler Shale of Utah.

[1] It is unusual among Cambrian arthropods for having a pair of wing-like structures projecting outwards from the carapace.

[4] The soft-bodied anatomy is poorly known, though the poorly preserved posterior anatomy of a specimen of P. sharpi is known, which consists of a narrow segmented abdomen, which ends with a pair of caudal rami.

Affinities to the bivalved arthropod group Hymenocarina have been proposed, but the limited knowledge of the anatomy makes the referral tentative.
