Abstract

Two Carboniferous trilobites, Ditomopyge convexa sp.nov. and Paladin (Paladin) sp.ind., are described from the Nordenskiöldbreen Formation in Spitsbergen. The new material is of considerable interest as it extends the known distribution of Carboniferous trilobites and provides further information on palaeobiogeography.
