Miraspis
Miraspis mira is a spinose species of odontopleurid trilobite in the family Odontopleuridae. Fossils of "M. mira" are known from the Wenlock-aged Liteň Formation in Loděnice, in Bohemia, Czech Republic, originally described by Joachim Barrande, in 1846, as ""Odontopleura mira." In 1917, Richter and Richter split "O. mira"" off into its own genus, "Miraspis".

The spines of "M. mira" are either smooth, or are fringed with smaller spines. "M. mira" is notable among odontopleurids in that the living animals had compound eyes set upon tall eyestalks (these eyestalks are often broken off in many, if not most specimens). "M. mira" also coexisted with its close relative, "Odontopleura ovalis".
