New species of the trilobite genus Bolaspidella viz., B. himalayensis, B. costalus, B. magamensis and Bolaspidella sp. have been recorded from the top part of the Middle Cambrian of Kashmir. Bolaspidella bearing beds constitute a well marked zone which may be extending into the base of Upper Cambrian. This is the first record of Bolaspidella from Asia and the stratigraphic position of this genus corresponds exactly to that known from North America.
