The Museum of Comparative Zoology Annual Report for 2020-2021 is now freely available online [HERE](https://mcz.harvard.edu/annual-reports), 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](https://peerj.com/articles/8879/), 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. ![Thelxiope_MCZ2020_cover_RGB](/sites/g/files/omnuum6461/files/ortega-hernandezlab/files/thelxiope_mcz2020_cover_rgb.jpg)
