Atractocybeloides, eine kleinwüchsige Trilobitengattung aus baltoskandischen Geschieben und ihrem Anstehenden

Five taxa of the small trilobite genus Atractocybeloides are presented from Middle to Late Ordovician erratic boulders, including the new species Atractocybeloides nebeni n. sp. and Atractocybeloides oepiki n. sp. The genus was errected in 1991 on the basis of fragmentary material. It evolved from Cybele during Aseri-zone times. A reconstruction is made possible due to new finds and the rich material from the Rhebergen collection, including nearly complete cuticles of A. berneri. Furthermore, Atructopyge gracilis from Norway is assigned to Atractocybeloides. Strong similarities exist to the roughly coeval, small trilobite genus Cybeloides, which is known from North America.
