Mureropodia is a lobopodian in the class Xenusia, which existed in what is now Spain during the early Cambrian period. It was described by José Antonio Gámez Vintaned, Eladio Liñán and Andrey Yu. Zhuravlev in 2011, and the type species is M. apae.[1]
The holotype specimen of M. apae was reinterpreted as a partial isolated appendage of a member of the radiodontan genus Caryosyntrips by Pates & Daley (2017);[2][3] this reinterpretation was criticized by Gámez Vintaned & Zhuravlev (2018).[4]
