Nelomites is genus of ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the Cheiloceratidae family. Species belonging to this genus lived in late Devonian (Famennian). This genus was originally described under the name Melonites Bogoslovskii, 1971; however, the same generic name has also been used for genus of echinoid named Melonites Norwood & Owen, 1846.^[3] Bockwinkel, Korn & Herd (2019) coined a replacement generic name Nelomites.^[4]
