Opabinia was the only formally described opabiniid, but a fossil from the Wheeler Formation of Utah, Utaurora comosa, is reinterpreted as a new opabiniid:

Oh nice, Opabinia can finally have a little friend after all this time. Glad to see the paper is not paywalled either.

Wow, almost looks like a cross between Obabinia and Anomalocaris. They're starting to fill in this family tree.

Cool, now we just need a transitional form between these and the Tully Monster. (Kidding!)
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.
