Maldybulakia is a genus of freshwater arthropod which lived during Late Silurian to Late Devonian.[1][2][3]Maldybulakia is known from three species, M. angusi and M. malcolmi from Australia, M. mirabilis from Kazakhstan, and M. saierensis from China. Its classification is uncertain, it was originally described as a myriapod-like animal, and later considered related to the xiphosurans, or an artiopod.[4][3][5]
