Abstract Cyclotron lapworthi (Groom, 1902), one of the few British Cambrian bradoriid ostracod species known from a large number of specimens, is redescribed. It has an interdorsum, thus indicating a hesslandonid affinity. The ontogeny of C. lapworthi does not demonstrate a clear distinction of its individual moult stages but does show marked changes in the development of nodes and lobes. C. lapworthi shows wide variation in carapace shape possibly indicating that its valves were thin and relatively flexible. In England and Canada C. lapworthi is restricted to the Upper Cambrian Olenus Zone. C. lapworthi may also occur coevally in the Upper Cambrian of Sweden.
