Cambropachycopidae is a family of Cambrian arthropods known from the Orsten of Sweden, united by their singular, large compound eye and heavily enlarged cephalic segment. Both species were roughly a millimeter long with similar body structures, however Goticaris is distinguished by two stalked blisters near its eye, as well as a longer body and smaller eye than Cambropachycope.[1] They are suggested to be stem-group mandibulates.[2]
