Abstract
Eurypterid finds are described from the Carboniferous (Kasimovian) localities Lomuvatka (Luhansk Region, Ukraine) and Kakichev (Rostov Region, Russia). These eurypterids are supposedly juveniles of Adelophthalmus carbonarius Chernyshev, 1933, the only eurypterid previously described from the Donets Basin.
