Abstract

Pygidia of the trilobitePseudophillipsia sp. are reported from the Permian Bera Formation, Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia, in association with a moderately rich brachiopod fauna of early Capitanian (Guadalupian) age. It resembles a slightly younger Capitanian speciesPseudophillipsia acuminata Mansuy, 1912 of northern laos. This find suggests an additional faunal link between Indochina and Peninsular Malaysia (the East Malaya terrane) during Capitanian time.
