Abstract:
A complete carapace fossil has not ever been found since the Dictyella genus was first established in 1933 by T.Kobayashi. The recent discovery of Dictyelll longispina Zhou complete carapace and its external mold and internal mold of pygidium at Gule, Jingxi of Guangxi is significant to its classification. According to its facial sutures (isoteliform sutures) and glabella and pygidium characteristics, it is more appropriate to put Dictyella in Isotelinae, Asaphidae, Asaphacea.
