Kleptothule rasmusseni is a small, elongated trilobite, about 3 cm in length, and about 5 to 6 mm in width, from the Sirius Passet Lagerstätte. It is currently placed in the family , though this may change with further study.

Its cephalon is composed of at least five segments, and its elongated thorax is composed of 27+ segments. The 20 or so segments of the pygidium are poorly defined, as they are fused together.
