The Arndell Sandstone crops out in the Florentine Valley and Tiger Range of southern Tasmania, about 80 km westnorth-west of Hobart (Fig. 1). The formation contains at several levels a diverse fauna of shelly fossils including corals, bryozoans, brachiopods, bivalves, gastropods and trilobites, of which only the brachiopods have been described previously (Sheehan & Baillie 1981, Laurie 1991. Graptolites have been recorded from the upper part of the formation. The trilobite fauna, described herein, differs markedly in composition between lower and upper parts of the formation, with no genera in common. The lower fauna includes six species belonging to the trinucleid Auritolithus gen. nov., the calymenids Salterocoryphe? and Vietnamia, the lichid Amphilichas? and two indeterminate genera of the Asaphidae. The upper fauna includes seven species belonging to the illaenid Pepodes gen. nov., the scutelluid Japonoscutellum, the brachymetopid Niuchangella, the encrinurids Arndellaspis gen. nov. and Cromus?, the calymenid Gravicalymene and the homalonotid Bron gniartella.The Arndell Sandstone was named by Baillie (1979) to incorporate the Westfield Beds of Corbett & Banks (1974) though that unit as originally conceived did not include the uppermost strata now assigned to the formation. The older term was retained by some authors, as Westfield Sandstone (e.g. Banks 1988, Laurie 1991), but the name Arndell Sandstone has prevailed (Banks & Burrett 1989, Calver et al. 2014. The lithology and stratigraphic relations of the formation were summarized by Calver et al. (2014, p. 256). It consists of about 250 m of buff-coloured micaceous siltstone and fine-grained sandstone, with coarser sandstones towards the top. Bioturbation and vertical feeding burrows are common, and the presence in places of herringbone crossbedding is said to be indicative of 397
