'''''Sinoburius''''' is an extinct genus of [xandarellid](/source/xandarellid) [artiopoda](/source/artiopoda)n known from the [Cambrian](/source/Cambrian) aged [Chengjiang Biota](/source/Chengjiang_Biota) of China. It is only known from the type species '''''S. lunaris''''', which was described in 1991.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Hou, Xianguang.|url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/614008940|title=Arthropods of the Lower Cambrian Chengjiang fauna, southwest China|date=1997|publisher=Univ.-Forl|isbn=82-00-37693-1|oclc=614008940}}</ref> It is a rare fossil within the Chengjiang assemblage. Like other Xandarellids, ''Sinoburius'' has an unmineralised exoskeleton. Adult individuals are around 7-8 millimetres in length, with stalked eyes present on the ventral side. Unusually among artiopods, the [antennae](/source/Antenna_(biology)) are strongly reduced in size.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Chen|first1=Xiaohan|last2=Ortega-Hernández|first2=Javier|last3=Wolfe|first3=Joanna M.|last4=Zhai|first4=Dayou|last5=Hou|first5=Xianguang|last6=Chen|first6=Ailin|last7=Mai|first7=Huijuan|last8=Liu|first8=Yu|date=December 2019|title=The appendicular morphology of Sinoburius lunaris and the evolution of the artiopodan clade Xandarellida (Euarthropoda, early Cambrian) from South China|url= |journal=BMC Evolutionary Biology|language=en|volume=19|issue=1|pages=165|doi=10.1186/s12862-019-1491-3|issn=1471-2148|pmc=6685191|pmid=31387545 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
