The Cambrian trilobites of western
Zhejiang represent the typical Southeast China Faunal Province, one of
the Oriental Faunal Realms. They are quite different from those of the
Atlantic or the Acado-Baltic Faunal Province, one of the Occidental Faunal
Realms contemporaneous and corresponding to the Southeast China Faunal
Province, though many pelagic genera and species of the agnostics and
a few nonagnostid trilobites occur in both provinces. The Agnostida described
here includes 10 families and subfamilies, 32 genera and subgenera, 57
species and 22 undetermined species, among which 1 subgenus and 20 species
are new; the non-agnostic trilobites med species, including 1 new subfamily
and 17 new species. Stratigraphically, the Cambrian System of western
Zhebrian strata of W. Zhejiang, Central China, NW China, N. and NE China,
Kazakhstan, Australia, Scandinavia and N. America is given.
