Until now, only one representative of the trilobite Odontopleura ovata Emmrich, 1839, belonging to the Odontopleura Emmrich, 1839 genus and classified into the Odontopleuridae Burmeister, 1843 family, has been known. The paper presents a new Silurian trilobite species classified into the Odontopleura genus. Trilobites of the Odontopleurida Whittington, 1959 order lived within a time period from the Middle Cambrian to the Upper Devonian. At present, their fossilised remnants can be found on every continent.
