Abstract

Two orthothecid hyoliths Probactrotheca briketa new genus and new species and Circotheca smetanai new species are described from the Middle Cambrian Buchava Formation of the Skryje-Týřovice Basin in the Czech Republic. The new forms are based on about twenty well-preserved external and internal moulds of opercula and conchs. The stratigraphic range and geographic distributions for both taxa are well known.
