Morocops is an extinct genus of phacopid trilobites known from Devonian rocks in Morocco, including the Anti-Atlas region. It belongs to Phacopidae, a family of trilobites recognized for compound eyes built from many large visual lenses and for a distinct cephalon, thorax, and pygidium. Morocops is...

Reedops cephalotes is a Devonian phacopid trilobite known from Czech and other European strata. Its morphology includes a proportionally large cephalon, well-developed schizochroal eyes, and a comparatively smooth glabella. These features place it among phacopid trilobites whose visual surfaces are...

Pedinopariops is a Devonian phacopid trilobite genus reported from Morocco and Europe. It is closely related to Phacops, but its identification depends in part on the number and arrangement of lenses in the schizochroal eye surface. That eye structure provides a useful comparative character in phaco...

Geesops is a Devonian phacopid trilobite genus known from Europe and Morocco. It has prominent schizochroal eyes and a strongly convex glabella, giving the cephalon a robust profile characteristic of many phacopid forms. Geesops occurs in Devonian fossil assemblages that include reef-associated envi...

Paciphacops is a genus of phacopid trilobites that lived during the Devonian Period. It is associated primarily with marine rocks of North America, including Devonian formations in the western United States. The genus is distinguished by a broad, inflated glabella and large schizochroal eyes, in whi...

Chotecops is a genus of phacopid trilobites from the Devonian Period. It is known from European deposits ranging from the Pragian to the Givetian, including fossil-bearing rocks in the Czech Republic and Germany. Like other phacopids, it possessed schizochroal eyes composed of many separate lenses....

Acaste is a genus of phacopid trilobites that lived from the Silurian into the Devonian Period. Fossils are known from European marine deposits. The genus is recognized by its large schizochroal eyes, whose visual surfaces contain numerous individually lensed facets, and by the characteristic propor...

Kayserops is a genus of Devonian proetid trilobites named in honor of the German paleontologist Emanuel Kayser. It is recorded from Middle and Late Devonian marine sediments in Europe and North Africa, including fossil-bearing rocks of Morocco. Kayserops had the schizochroal eyes characteristic of m...

Rhenops is a genus of Devonian phacopid trilobites named from the Rhenish region of western Europe. It is known from marine deposits associated with the Rhenish Massif in Germany and from the Lower to Middle Devonian interval. Rhenops belongs to Phacopidae, a family recognized for schizochroal eyes...

Devonian phacopid trilobite from Morocco, closely resembling Pedinopariops and separated from it by subtle differences in glabellar furrow depth and schizochroal eye-lens arrangement.

Devonian trilobite genus characterized by notably small or reduced eyes, known from European and North African strata and possibly representing a low-light benthic adaptation.
