Misszhouia is a genus of small to average sized (up to 6 centimetres (2.4 in) long)[2] marine trilobite-like arthropods within the Naraoiidae family, that lived during the early Cambrian period. The species are M. longicaudata, from the Maotianshan Shales, described in 1985, and M. canadensis, from the Burgess Shale and described in 2018,[1] although later species may belongs to genus Naraoia instead.[3]
