Phillipsia is a Carboniferous proetid trilobite genus recorded from Europe and North America. It is notable because trilobites of the genus Phillipsia survived into the late Paleozoic, when trilobite diversity had already declined substantially compared with earlier periods. Its compact body and cap...

Cyphaspis is a Devonian trilobite genus in the proetid family Otarionidae. It is recognized by pedunculate eyes and spiny, granulate ornamentation, features that give many specimens a strongly textured appearance. The genus was described by Frederick McCoy in 1849 and is especially familiar in discu...

Basidechenella is a genus of proetid trilobites known from Devonian rocks. It belongs to the order Proetida and is classified in the family Proetidae in modern taxonomic databases, although older literature may place related forms under Dechenellidae or use Dechenella in combination. Fossils assigne...

Griffithides is an extinct genus of proetid trilobites from the Carboniferous. Its fossils are associated with marine strata, including occurrences in Ireland and other parts of Europe and North America. As a late Paleozoic trilobite, Griffithides belongs to lineages that persisted after the major D...

Diademaproetus is a genus of proetid trilobites from the Devonian Period. Fossils assigned to the genus are known from parts of Europe and North Africa. Its dorsal exoskeleton is characterized by numerous tubercles, particularly on the glabella and fixigenae, producing a distinctly granulated surfac...

Pseudophillipsia is a genus of phillipsiid trilobites from late Carboniferous and Permian marine rocks. Fossils attributed to the genus occur in parts of the former Tethys region, including areas of Asia. It belongs to one of the trilobite lineages that survived into the Permian, when trilobite dive...

Paladin is a genus of phillipsiid trilobites from the Carboniferous Period. Its fossils are known from marine strata in Europe and from other regions represented in the phillipsiid record. The genus belongs to a late-surviving branch of proetid trilobites and is often found in enrolled specimens, in...

Proetus is a genus of proetid trilobites that lived mainly during the Devonian Period. Fossils assigned to the genus have been reported from Europe and North America, although the exact range varies among species and taxonomic treatments. Proetus is part of the proetid lineage, one of the trilobite...

A Paleozoic trilobite genus assigned to the order Proetida, known from marine deposits and contributing to the taxonomic understanding of late Paleozoic trilobite diversity.

Digonus is a genus of trilobites in the order Phacopida. Fossils assigned to the genus are known from Lower Devonian marine strata in what is now Germany, including the Harz region, and the genus was described by G. Gürich in 1909. Its type species is Digonus gigas, a trilobite originally described...

Brachymetopus is an extinct genus of proetid trilobites known from Carboniferous rocks in Europe and North America. It occurs in both Mississippian and Pennsylvanian strata, placing it within a period when trilobite diversity had declined from its earlier Paleozoic levels. The genus is characterized...

Dechenella is a genus of Devonian proetid trilobites known from Europe, including Middle Devonian carbonate rocks of the Rhenish region. The genus was named in honor of the German geologist Heinrich von Dechen and belongs to the family Proetidae within the order Proetida. Its fossils represent a lat...

Ditomopyge is an extinct genus of proetid trilobites known from Carboniferous and Permian marine rocks. It belongs to a lineage that persisted late in trilobite history, when trilobite diversity was already much lower than in the Paleozoic's earlier periods. Ditomopyge is studied by paleontologists...

Cornuproetus is an extinct genus of proetid trilobites from the Devonian Period. Fossils assigned to the genus are reported from marine deposits in Europe and North Africa, including Morocco. Its morphology includes a smoothly convex glabella and a rounded pygidium, although detailed appearance vari...

Gerastos is a genus of Devonian proetid trilobites in the family Proetidae. Fossils attributed to the genus occur in Europe and North Africa, where they lived in shallow marine carbonate settings during the Middle Devonian. Gerastos represents a group of relatively compact trilobites with a smooth t...
