Ercaicunia is genus of bivalved Cambrian arthropod from the Chengjiang biota of Yunnan, China. It contains a single species, E. multinodosa that was described by Luo et al. in 1999.[1] Specimens were CT scanned in 2019, which revealed it to be a stem-group crustacean, and a close relative of Clypecaris and possibly hymenocarines.[2]
