(Müller & Waloszek, 1990)

Henningsmoenicaris scutula is a Cambrian genus of arthropod from the Orsten of Sweden.[2] It was formerly named Henningsmoenia, however this name was preoccupied by an ostracod, therefore it was renamed.[1] Its genus name translates to "Henningsmoen's shrimp" after G. Henningsmoen. The species name, scutula is in reference to the large, bowl-shaped carapace.[2]
