A new agnostid genus Trilagnostus from Middle Cambrian of Kashmir is described in addition to Pagetia griesbachi and Pagetia sp. from the same level at the Solvan-Menevian boundary. Diplagnostus is also being reported and described in the same succession at the top of Menevian. This form helps in demarcating the Middle - Upper Cambrian boundary in the sequence.
