Balhuticaris is a genus of extinct bivalved (referring to the carapace) hymenocarine arthropod that lived in the Cambrian aged Burgess Shale in what is now British Columbia around 506 million years ago. This extremely multisegmented (with over 100 segments) arthropod is the largest member of the group, and it was even one of the largest animals of the Cambrian, with individuals reaching lengths of 245 mm (9 in). Fossils of this animal suggests that gigantism occurred in more groups of Arthropoda than had been previously thought. It also presents the possibility that bivalved arthropods were very diverse, and filled in a lot of ecological niches.

  • Balhuticaris es un género extinto de artrópodo himenocarino bivalvo que vivió en Burgess Shale del Cámbrico en lo que ahora es la Columbia Británica hace unos 506 millones de años.​ Entre los animales del cámbrico se podría considerar mediano, o incluso grande, llegando a medir 24,5 cm de longitud.​ Los fósiles de este animal sugieren que el gigantismo ocurrió en más grupos de artrópodos de lo que se pensaba.​ (es)
