Three new orthide species: Orthidium lavensis, Orthidium gambolovensis and Ranorthis rotunda, and one new protorthide species: Skenidioides minutus, are described from the Early-Middle Ordovician (Billingen-Volkhov stages) of Estonia and north-western Russia. This is the first record of Orthidium from Baltica, whereas Skenidioides was known previously only from the Keila and Oandu stages in Estonia.
