Fuxianhuia
Fuxianhuia is a genus of Lower Cambrian fossil arthropod known from the Chengjiang fauna in China. Its purportedly primitive features have led to it playing a pivotal role in discussions about the euarthropod stem group. Nevertheless, despite being known from many specimens, disputes about its morphology, in particular its head appendages, have made it one of the most controversial of the Chengjiang taxa, and it has been discussed extensively in the context of the arthropod head problem.

Fuxianhuia es un género de artrópodos de los esquistos de Maotianshan, del Cámbrico Inferior de Yunnan, China . Sus características primitivas han suscitado discusiones sobre la condición ancestral de los euartrópodos. A pesar de ser conocido de varios especímenes, disputas sobre su morfología, concretamente sus apéndices de la cabeza, lo han convertido en uno de los taxones de Chengjiang más controvertidos.
