Upper Ordovician Phacopida (Trilobita) from Tasmania

Eastonian trilobite faunas of the Gordon Group in Tasmania include the new species Ceraurinella oepiki, Erratencrinurus trippi, and Pliomerina trisulc ata, as well as a reedocalymeninid probably allied to Sarrabesia Hammann & Leone, 1997. Ceraurinella and Erratencrinurus have not previously been repo rted from Australia, the former being predominantly Laurentian but also kno wn from NE China, the Himalaya and Vietnam, and the latter mostly Baltic/La urentian. Peri-Gondwanan species of Ceraurinella appear to form a clade, wi thin which Tasmanian and Indian (central Himalayan) taxa are closest relati ves.
