Abstract
Two new species of Climacograptus are described from the late Gisbornian and early Eastonian (Late Ordovician) of Victoria. It is proposed that they form a lineage which can be traced from C. bicornis tridentatus Lapworth, via C. cruciformis sp. nov. and C. lanceolatus sp. nov., to C. spiniferus Ruedemann. A newly recognised structure, the parasicula, is described.
