Kootenia

Artiopoda - Corynexochida - Dorypygidae

Taxonomy
Bathyuriscus (Kootenia) was named by Walcott (1899). Its type is Bathyuriscus (Kootenia) dawsoni.

It was reranked as Kootenia by Palmer (1954), Palmer and Halley (1979), Sundberg (1994), Eddy and McCollum (1998), Sepkoski (2002), Landing et al. (2008).

It was assigned to Bathyuriscus by Walcott (1889); to Dorypigidae by Palmer (1954); to Dorypygidae by Palmer and Halley (1979), Sundberg (1994), Eddy and McCollum (1998); to Corynexochida by Sepkoski (2002); and to Dorypyginae by Landing et al. (2008).
