Description and validation of the cyathaspids (Vertebrata, Heterostraci) from the Red Bay Group of Spitsbergen, previously introduced and/or described by Riser (1930, 1932) and Kiær & A. Heinz (1935). The following species are defined: Dinaspidella robusta; Irregulareaspis hoeli, I. mirabilis n. sp.; Poraspis polaris, P. brevis, P. rostrata; Homalaspidella nitida; Anglaspis insignis, A. heintzi n. sp., A. elongata n. sp.; Ctenaspis dentata and C. cancellala. The biostratigraphy of these taxa is briefly reviewed. The Spitsbergen cyathaspids are mainly compared with the Canadian Arctic forms, for one of which the new name Dinaspidella elizabethae is introduced. □Spitsbergen, Lower Devonian, Cyathaspidiformes (Agnatha), systematic revision, new taxa.
