The original description of Houia yueya from the Early Devonian-aged (Lochkovian) Xishancun Formation in Yunnan, China reported no conclusive evidence for LCEs ( Lamsdell et al., 2013). On reconsideration of the taxon by Selden et al. (2015), ovate LCEs were noted on both sides of the prosomal shield, a statement that we reaffirm here ( Fig. 6A, B View Figure 6 ). Lateral compund eyes are 8 mm from the lateral, 10 mm from the posterior and 4 mm from the anterior boarders and 4 mm from the prosomal midline. Ophthalmic ridges are absent. The LCEs have a dark, pigmented border ( Fig. 6B View Figure 6 ).
