Identification. Members of the Stemmiulida have a very characteristic appearance. The body is cylindrical, carrying spinnerets at the telson. The head has laterally 1–3 large ommatidia. The order has only 1 recent family ( Enghoff et al. 2015), but we hesitate to place these fossils in the recent family without a more detailed morphological investigation.
