Extinct genus of lobopodian panarthropod
Luolishania is an extinct genus of lobopodian panarthropod and known from the Lower Cambrian Chiungchussu Formation (Maotianshan Shales ) of the Chengjiang County , Yunnan Province, China . A monotypic genus, it contains one species Luolishania longicruris . It was discovered and described by Hou Xian-Guang and Chen Jun-Yuan in 1989.[ 1] It is one of the superarmoured Cambrian lobopodians suspected to be either an intermediate form in the origin of velvet worms (Onychophora )[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] or basal to at least Tardigrada and Arthropoda .[ 10] [ 11] [ 12] It is the basis of the family name Luolishaniidae ,[ 13] which also include other related lobopods such as Acinocricus , Collinsium , Facivermis , and Ovatiovermis .[ 8] Along with Microdictyon , it is the first lobopodian fossil discovered from China.[ 14]
