Abstract
Leiagnostus (Trilobita, Agnostida) is an uppermost Cambrian-Lower Ordovicia n genus known in Argentina through scarce material. In this note Leiagnostu s ceibalitensis n. sp. is described from the Floresta Formation (upper Trem adocian). The material was collected in the quebrada de Pinguiyal, southern section of sierra de Mojotoro, Salta Province. It is regarded as conspecif ic with material from that locality previously assigned to Leiagnostus turg idulus Harrington and Leanza.
