Popis:	An entire exoskeleton of Neodrepanura recovered from the Cambrian Kushan Formation in Laiwu, Shandong, China, represents the first complete specimen recorded for the genus since its establishment over 110 years ago. As an important genus of the Family Damesellidae, the new discovery aids our understanding of the dorsal morphology of the genus, clarifies morphological diversity within the family and permits revision of the erroneous reconstruction made by Kobayashi in 1942.
