Hypodicranotus striatulus is an extinct, pelagic trilobite in the order Asaphida, of the family Remopleuridae. Its fossils are found in Middle Ordovician-aged marine strata in New York State, United States, and in Ontario, Canada.
The dorsal exoskeleton of H. striatulus is very similar to the related genus, Remopleurides , but, H. striatulus has a comparatively enormous, forked hypostome.
