Misszhouia longicaudata is a species of blind, trilobite-like arthropod from the Cambrian period. In 1984 well-preserved fossil of Misszhouia was discovered in the Maotianshan Shale; this discovery brought the shale to scientific attention.[1]

M. longicaudata was formerly considered a member of the genus Naraoia, originally known as "Naraoia longicaudata," until separated in 1997.[2]
