Kathwaia is a genus of trilobite known from the late Permian of Pakistan. It is notable for being one of the five last-known trilobites. [1] [2]
The genus is in the family Phillipsiidae, just like all the last trilobites (except for what is doubtfully Cheiropyge ). [2] [3] The genus' type species, K. capitorosa, is now considered a junior synonym of K. caucasica. [4]
