Kjerulfia
Taxonomy
Kjerulfia was named by Kiaer (1917) [Sepkoski's age data: Cm Atda-u Sepkoski's reference number: 80,473,885]. Its type is Kjerulfia lata.
It was assigned to Callaviinae by Palmer and Repina (1993); to Holmiidae by Whittington et al. (1997); to Olenellida by Sepkoski (2002); and to Holmiinae by Nikolaisen (1986), Lieberman (1999) and Ebbestad et al. (2003).

Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. R. Palmer and L. N. Repina 1993 | Callaviinae with posterior margin of cephalon nearly straight or deflected slightly forward distal to intergenal swellings, which are located closer to genal angle than to axial furrows | |
| B. S. Lieberman 1999 | Anterior cephalic border not prominently separated from extraocular area by deep furrow, developed as flattened, angled plane; frontal lobe contacts anterior border fur- row, does not expand prominently dorsally; lateral margins of L4 directly anterior to lateral margins of L0; anterolateral margins of glabella not prominently separated from extraocu- lar area by furrow; length (sag.) of frontal lobe equal to 1.5 times length (sag.) of L0 and L1; pre-ocular furrow on frontal lobe directed inward and forward from glabellar margin; an- terodistal margins of L3 formed by ocular lobes; postero- and anterodistal margins of L3 with same orientation; lateral margins of glabella opposite L2 diverging when proceeding anteriorly; posterior margins of ocular lobes opposite distal tip of S0; line from posterior margin of ocular lobe to junction of posterior margin of lobe with glabella forms 20 to 25 degree angle relative to sagittal line; S3 evenly convex, distal tip further forward than medial tip; distal tip of S2 further forward than medial tip; S0, S1, S2 and S3 conjoined medially; S0 sinuous; L0 with spine posterior of midline of L0; lateral lobes on L0 present; intergenal angle developed midway between ocular lobe and genal spine, with small spine; intergenal angle forms 10 to 15 degree angle with transverse line; extraocular area gently sloping from eye to lateral border furrow, width (tr.) opposite L1 equal to 45% to 55% width of glabella at L1; genal spine angle opposite medial part of distal margin of L0; genal spine close to genal spine angle forms roughly 10 to 15 degree angle relative to sagittal line; genal spine extends back roughly 4 to 5 thoracic segments. |
