Jianshania is a genus of Cambrian arthropod known from the Chengjiang biota, containing the single species J. furcatus. It was described by Luo et al. in 1999.[1] In 2020, a specimen originally assigned to the species was found to represent the separate fuxianhuiid taxon Xiaocaris pending revision of the type specimen.[2]
