Repinaella is an extinct genus from a well-known class of fossil marine arthropods, the trilobites. It lived during the late Atdabanian stage.

Distribution

Taxonomy

Within the "Fallotaspidoidea" superfamily Repinaella siberia is closest to the common ancestor with the other Olenellina, particularly Pseudojudomia egregia, and the common characters of these two species were probably shared with the common ancestor of all trilobites.[3]
