M a t e r i a l. Four fragments of fringe, internal moulds and their counterparts.

R e m a r k s. Remains of harpetid trilobites are too much fragmentary to enable even generic affiliation. Chlupáč (1983), Přibyl and Vaněk (1986: 37–38) and Vaněk and Valíček (2002) report from the Acanthopyge Limestone common occurrence of Lioharpes (Fritschaspis) montagnei ( HAWLE et CORDA, 1847) , rare occurrence of Reticuloharpes reticulatus ( HAWLE et CORDA, 1847) and very rare findings of Kielania kayseri ( NOVÁK, 1890) . Relatively prominent perforation of fringe together with its vaulting seems to support the affiliation to the first mentioned taxon. Alternatively, occurrence of Helioharpes could also be assessed, but this genus was not previously known from the Acanthopyge Limestone.
