AB The genus Tonkinella is a typical polimeroid trilobite in lower Middle Cambrian rocks from Vietnam, Canada,U.S.A., India, Korea, Siberia, China and Argentina. It has recently been found in the Mediterranean region (IberianChain, northeastern Spain). In this paper we refer the finding of Tonkinella aff. breviceps in the Leonian(lower Middle Cambrian) of the Cantabrian Mountains (northern Spain), analysing its stratigraphical position,fossil assemblages, biochronology and utility for intercontinental correlation. The presence of this taxon allowsus to make a more accurate correlation between the Middle Cambrian biochronological scales of Laurentia, theMediterranean area and China.
