Imperfectly preserved specimen of a supposed hydrozoan Medusites cf. radiatus Linnars., originally described by Pompeckj (1896) from the "Pod trnim" locality near Tyrovice (Slapnice Member of the Buchava Formation, Skryje-Tyrovice Basin) is revised. Recent study of the original specimen and a more complete topotype specimen testify the affiliation to the pineapple-shaped ichnogenus Astropolichnus Crimes and Anderson, 1985.

A new ichnospecies A. bohemicus is established on the material from the Buchava Formation. This material is the first occurrence of Astropolichnus in the middle Cambrian as well as the first report of this ichnogenus in the Barrandian area of Czech Republic.
