Camanchia

Camanchia is a genus of synziphosurine,[1] a paraphyletic group of fossil chelicerate arthropods.[2][3] Camanchia was regarded as part of the clade Prosomapoda.[4][5][6][3] Fossils of the single and type species, C. grovensis, have been discovered in deposits of the Silurian period in Iowa, in the United States.[7][2] Alongside Venustulus, Camanchia is one of the few synziphosurine genera with fossil showing evidence of appendages.[1]
