The conodont Scythogondolella milleri (Mtiller, 1956) is found from "Xiadawu" Formation in the Huashixia area of Maduo Country, Qinghai Province for the first time. This work indicates that the existence of Smithian or up into lower Spathian in this area and the genus Scythogondolella or some species of Scythogondolella is not the characteristic element of the Himalayan biogeographic sub-province as previously suggested.
