Newly discovered specimens of the orthothecide hyoliths in Hebei Province of North China reveal new data on diversity, skeletal microstructure and palaeoecology of the order Orthothecida. Decoritheca cyrene possesses a well-defined skeletal structure consisting of rows of tubercles in the shell wall, which correspond to dimples on the internal surface of the conch. We describe a new species Cupitheca convexa sp. nov. characterised by a planar and interior convex operculum with a pair of bilobate cardinal processes, which differs from the more widespread C. holocyclata in opercular morphology and overall ornamentation of the conch, highting the significance of operculum in the classification of hyoliths. First discovery of the presumed unusual protoconch of C. convexa sp. nov. implies a possible lecithotrophic development to adapt to nutrient-fluctuant environments. Pitting structure on the operculum and shell as well as lamellar- fibrillar structure on the internal mould of C. convexa sp. nov. are observed herein.
