Ptychagnostus is an extinct
genus of blind
trilobite that lived during the
Cambrian period, part of the order
Agnostida. Ptychagnostidae generally do not exceed ten millimetres in length. Their remains are sometimes found in the otherwise empty tubes of the polychaete worm
Selkirkia. It probably lived in the water column. Its major characteristics are lack of eyes, two lobes on the
glabella, and three lobes on the
pygidium.
