This species from the Late Silurian-aged (Ludlow, sensu Gupta, 2014) Vernon Shale from New York State, USA, was originally described by Ruedemann (1916) as having small, lunular LCEs. Krzemiński et al. (2010) doubted that Pseudoniscus taxa possessed any ocular features. Re-examination of the Pseudoniscus clarkei specimen (NSYM 19113) shows no evidence for LCEs, but a prominent ophthalmic ridge is preserved on the left side of the prosomal shield ( Fig. 4A, B).
