Amiskwia is a genus of soft-bodied animals known from fossils of the Middle Cambrian Lagerstätten both in the Burgess Shale in British Columbia, Canada and the Maotianshan shales of Yunnan Province, China. It is interpreted as a member of the clade Gnathifera sensu lato[1] or as a basal cucullophoran.[2][3][4]
