A new genus of nevadiid trilobite is described from the Lower Cambrian of Peary Land, central North Greenland, from the same horizon and locality from which a non-skeletised fauna has been recently reported. The new genus, BuenelIus, is tentatively assigned to the Nevadiidae Hupe, 1953, and comparisons are made with the genera Nevadia Walcott, 1910, Nevadella Raw, 1936, Callavia Matthew, 1897, Holmia Matthew, 1890 and Kjerulfia Kiaer, 1917.
