Abstract
Trilobites from a new locality within a siltstone of the Cymbric Vale Formation, western New South Wales, are described here as Redlichia cf. ziguiensis Lin 1978 and Usuaspis cerastes (Öpik 1975). The species described as Strenax cerastes Öpik and Estaingia bilobata Pocock from nearby localities are included in a single redefined species, H. cerastes. The genera Pseudichangia Chu & Zhou in Lu et al. (1974) and Strenax Öpik 1975 are placed in synonymy with Hsuaspis. The fauna described here is of late Early Cambrian (Late Botoman) age.
