Paramylostoma arcualis is an extinct selenosteid arthrodire placoderm from the Late Famennian Cleveland Shale of Late Devonian Ohio. It has a compressed, box-like head and thoracic armor, and large, rounded orbits. However, in comparison with other selenosteids, such as Selenosteus , P. arcualis' orbits were rather small. P. arcualis had smooth jaws that suggest the animal was durophagous.
