Kiangsuaspis nankingensis is an extinct phyllocarid crustaceans from Late Silurian China. It was originally described in 1962 by Kiang P'an as an incomplete ventral plate of a cyathaspidid heterostracan agnathan with a unique pattern of raised, sculptured tubercles that fuse together into anastomosing ridges.P'an, Kiang 1962. A new Silurian fish from Nanking, China. (Chinese with English summary). Acta Palaeont. Sinica, 10, no. 3, pp. 402-409, fig. 1, pi. 1. In 1984, Jiang P'an then reappraised it as a ceratiocaridid crustacean.Pan, Jiang. "The phylogenetic position of the Eugaleaspida in China."Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales.
