Abstract
THE trilobite genus Centropleura Angelin 1854 was established for a Swedish species, Paradoxides lovéni Angelin 1851. Centropleura lovéni occurs in the Middle Cambrian Andrarum limestone of Scania, Sweden. During the century that followed its first discovery, the genus was found in rocks of the same Middle Cambrian age on Bennett Island in the Arctic Ocean, in northern and eastern Siberia, in the United States in the State of Vermont, and in Canada in the eastern part of the Gaspé Peninsula. It was assumed that Centropleura was an ‘arctic’ and ‘subarctic’ trilobite.
