“…The Burgess Shale biota shows the greatest generic diversity of hurdiids in the Wuliuan (four genera: Cambroraster, Hurdia, Peytoia, Stanleycaris; Daley & Budd, 2010 and references therein;Daley, Budd & Caron, 2013a;Pates, Daley & Ortega-Hernández, 2018a). Similar generic diversities, but incomparably lower abundances are observed in the Drumian Wheeler-House Range (Buccaspinea, Pahvantia, Peytoia, Stanleycaris) and Marjum (Buccaspinea, Cambroraster, Pahvantia, Peytoia) biotas of Utah (Pates, Daley & Ortega-Hernández, 2018a;Pates, Daley & Lieberman, 2018b;Lerosey-Aubril et al, 2020;Pates et al, 2021a). This greater taxonomic diversity of the group in the Miaolingian is all the more remarkable that it is almost exclusively documented by Laurentian biotas.…”
