The Museum of Comparative Zoology Annual Report for 2020-2021 is now freely available online HERE, and we are honoured that one of the new species described by the lab is featured in the cover! We first came across Thelxiope holmani during the field excursion to the mid-Cambrian Wheeler Formation as part of NAPC 2019 in Riverside, and have since published an open access paper describing it, and revising the systematics of mollisoniid euarthropods. Below is the original photograph showing the holotype and only known specimen, which is now part of the MCZ Invertebrate Paleontology collection.
