). The medial frontal organ is elongate and teardrop-shaped, the lateral pair more or less ovate. All three are preserved protruding strongly ventrally with an anteroventral slope making their anterior edge vertical or even slightly protruding in front of the cuticle at its base. The frontal organs are set upon a low relief, boomerang-shaped platform that appears to represent a weakly sclerotised sternite. Some specimens show the frontal organs and ovate lobe to be surrounded and joined by a thin sheet of tissue (arthrodial membrane or ventral cuticle) that extends out to the bases of the antennules (see below). The frontal organs and ovate lobe are thus conjoined as a structural complex that may include two lightly sclerotised sternites. If the attachment site of the antennules is to be regarded as a homologous landmark between naraoiids and trilobites, it is plausible to regard the hypostomal region of

Relevant outgroup taxa such as Trilobita (Whittington &amp; Almond, 1987; Shu et al., 1995), Tegopeltidae (Whittington, 1985: figs 2, 3), and Helmetiida (Hou, 1987: pI. 3, fig. 2) also lack a strong proximal deflection of the antennule. The apomorphic state in Naraoia is also shared by Liwia which, contrary to its reconstruction (Dzik &amp; Lendzion, 1988: fig. 5A), has strongly deflected antennules (Dzik &amp; Lendzion, 1988: fig. 4A,B)." pageId="2" pageNumber="3">Fig. 2</figureCitation>
