  Harpetida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Harpetida are characterized among trilobites by bearing a semicircular brim around the cephalon (head) which is often perforated by small pores.
The Harpetida were formerly included in the family Ptychopariida, but were recently given their own order (Ebach and McNamara 2002).
However, this is in conflict with the use of the same name for a family of extant molluscs and that taxon had precedence.

 Harpetida Fact Sheet
Harpetidae: Arraphus, Bohemoharpes (=Declivoharpes; =Unguloharpes), Bowmania, Brachyhipposiderus, Conococheaguea, Dolichoharpes, Dubhglasina (=Australoharpes; =Sinoharpes), Eoharpes (/Harpina), Eotrinucleus, Harpes (=Helioharpes; =Reticuloharpes), Heterocaryon, Hibbertia (/Platyharpes; =Harpesoides; =Metaharpes; =Paraharpes; =Thorslundops; =Wegelinia), Kathrynia, Kielania (=Lowtheria), Lioharpes (=Fritchaspis), Paleoharpes, Scotoharpes (=Aristoharpes; =Selenoharpes).
As Proetida, Asaphida, and now Harpetida are distinguished from the old Ptychopariida clade, the subclass Librostoma serves to highlight the shared Ptychopariida ancestry.
In 1987 Harpetidae Hawle and Corda 1847 and Harpididae Whittington 1950 were added to the official list "Names in Zoology" per Opinion 1436 of the ICZN.

 Harpetida - One Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Harpetida is one of the nine orders of the extinct arthropod class Trilobita.
The Harpetida are characterized among trilobites by bearing a convex brim, often perforated by small pores.
This brim was thought to serve as a filter-feeding chamber.

However, at genus level the fossil record is incomplete; at this level there is little variation in their completeness between different stratigraphic and taxonomic groupings although different geographic regions show marked differences due to collection effort.
The most complete aspects of the trilobite fossil record are the North American, Ordovician and Harpetida subsets of data whilst the African, Carboniferous and Proetida are the least complete.
The role of synonyms has had little effect on perceived levels of completeness; the rate of synonymy has varied little during the past 180 years, but has decreased through time from 23% in 1900 to 18% in 1975.

Size: (25.4mm=1 inch): 45 mm long by 29 mm wide on a 100 by 60 mm matrix.
Description: Elegant example of a member of the newly erected (2002) Order Harpetida, with many fine details present.
Previously, this one was known as Aristoharpes (taxonomy of trilobites seems to be perpetually in a state of flux).

 High Level Trilobite Systematics
The last four orders listed – Ptychopariida, Harpetida, Asaphida and Proetida –; share (at least in primitive forms) a natant hypostomal condition, leading Fortey 1990 to propose a phylogenetic relationship between these forms and a new subclass, Libristoma, to group them.
A subclass-level organisation for the remaining orders has not emerged.

 Among My Trilobites
Yahoo Trilobite Club member Sam Gon III has done a great job of presenting the salient points of current trilobite classification according to his synthesis of the current, but incomplete Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology,Part O with its 1959 predecessor, the original Treatise.
Most orders did not exist throughout the entire Paleozoic, but several did have members extending through several periods.
