Abstract

Two new eurypterid species, Adelophthalmus kamyshtensis sp. nov. and Adelophthalmus dubius sp. nov., are described from the Middle Devonian of Khakassia. The new species are among the earliest known members of the genus Adelophthalmus and the earliest members of this genus known outside Europe and North America.
