Abstract

The article presents diagnoses and information on the type series of two trilobite species of the genus Papillicalymene Shirley, 1936: P. dnistroviana Konstantynenko, 2006 and P. sokoliana Konstantynenko, 2006 from the Ludlow (Upper Silurian) of Podillia in western Ukraine. This study confirms the validity of these trilobite species, as their original description did not include type specimen numbers, their storage place, and their diagnoses.
