Sirilorica is a genus of stem-group loriciferan from the Sirius Passet.[1]

Sirilorica was a worm-like animal ranging from three to eight centimetres in length.[1]

Ecology

Sirilorica probably burrowed on the sediment surface, although since it is never preserved alongside burrows the fossils were presumably washed to their final resting places.[1]
