'''''Primoriella''''' is a genus of trilobite, an extinct group of marine arthropods. The only known species, ''P. bella'' occurs in the uppermost Lower Cambrian of Russia (''Redlichina culmenica'' beds, far eastern Siberia). It is related to ''Paradoxides'', but can be distinguished from it by only slightly forward expansion of the (glabella) a character shared with ''Anabaraceps'' and ''Schagonaria''. In ''Primoriella'' however, the front of the glabella touches the roll-like border, causing it to slightly bulge forward, while in ''Anabaraceps'' there is a roll-like preglabellar field as wide as the flat border in front of it. The glabella of ''Primordiella'' is less than twice as long as wide, and differs from ''Schagonaria'' in which it is more than twice as long as wide.<ref name='Treatise'>{{cite book|editor= Whittington, H.
