zlichovaspis

Zlichovaspis is a genus of Devonian trilobites from the family Dalmanitidae, known for its long pygidial spines and finely ornamented exoskeleton. It lived during the Early to Middle Devonian, especially in the Prague Basin of the Czech Republic, where many complete specimens are found.

It is distinguished from related genera like Dalmanites by its more elongated and spinose pygidium, richer surface granulation, and broad cephalon with well-developed schizochroal eyes. These features suggest a benthic lifestyle in shallow marine environments, likely as a detritivore or scavenger.
