Proetoidea is a superfamily of trilobites in the order Proetida. [1] [2]
The Proetoidea are closely related to the Aulacopleuroidea. [3] and are divided into three families: Phillipsiidae, Proetidae, and Tropidocophyridae. [1]
Phillipsiidae is not listed in some publications (e. g. Adrain, 2011) but is instead listed as a subfamily of the proetidae. [4]

Phacopida ("lens-face") is an order of trilobites that lived from the Late Cambrian to the Late Devonian. It is made up of a morphologically diverse assemblage of taxa in three related suborders.
Ptychopariida is a large, heterogeneous order of trilobite containing some of the most primitive species known. The earliest species occurred in the second half of the Lower Cambrian, and the last species did not survive the Ordovician–Silurian extinction event.
Proetida is an order of trilobite that lived from the Ordovician to the Permian. It was the last surviving order of trilobite, dying out in the Permian-Triassic extinction event.
Encrinurus is a long-lived genus of phacopid trilobites that lived in what are now Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America from the middle Ordovician to the early Devonian from 472 to 412.3 mya, existing for approximately 59.7 million years.
Aegrotocatellus is a genus of trilobite in the order Phacopida, which existed in what is now Nunavut, Canada. It was named by Adrain and Edgecombe in 1995, and the type species is Aegrotocatellus jaggeri, a species named after British musician Mick Jagger.
Endops yanagisawai is a proetid trilobite belonging to the family Proetidae, endemic to Middle Permian-aged marine strata in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. It was originally described by Riuji Endo as Paladin yanagisawai.
Proetidae is a family of proetid trilobites. The first species appeared in the Upper Ordovician, and the last genera survived until the Middle Permian. However, if the closely related family Phillipsiidae is actually a subfamily of Proetidae, then the proetids of Proetidae survive until the end of the Permian, where the last perish during the Permian–Triassic extinction event.
Phillipsiidae is a family of proetid trilobites, the various genera of which comprise some of the last of the trilobites, with a range that extended from the Kinderhookian epoch of the Lower Mississippian, to the end of Changhsingian age at Permian-Triassic extinction event in the latest Permian period.
Cornuproetus is a genus of trilobite in the family Tropidocoryphidae.
Repinaella is an extinct genus from a well-known class of fossil marine arthropods, the trilobites. It lived during the late Atdabanian stage.
Hedstroemia is a genus of trilobites in the order Proetida known from the Silurian period of Europe, Asia, and North America.
Nipponaspis is a genus of proetid trilobite belonging to the family Phillipsiidae. Fossils of the various species are found in Middle Permian-aged marine strata of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, China, Korea, and Alaska.
Thaiaspis is a genus of proetid trilobite belonging to the family Phillipsiidae. Fossils of the various species are found in Middle to Late Mississippian-aged marine strata of eastern Asia, especially of Carboniferous-aged marine strata in Thailand.
Malchi magnificus is a proetid trilobite belonging to the family Phillipsiidae. The exquisitely preserved fossils are found in Lower Carboniferous-aged marine strata of what is now Malchi Creek, Queensland, Australia.
Librostoma is a subclass of trilobites defined by having a natant hypostome, which is a hypostome that is free from the anterior doublure and aligned with the anterior of the glabella, this is unlike a conterminant hypostome, which is attached to the exoskeleton.
Gerastos is a genus of proetid trilobite in the family Proetidae that lived between the Pragian and Eifelian of the Lower-Middle Devonian, spanning approximately 21 million years.
Anisopyge is an extinct genus of trilobite belonging to the order Proetida and family Phillipsiidae. Specimens have been found in Permian beds in North and Central America.
Kathwaia is a genus of trilobite known from the late Permian of Pakistan. It is notable for being one of the five last-known trilobites.
Paraphillipsia is a genus of proetid trilobite in the family Phillipsiidae. It is notable for being one of the last trilobites to go extinct during the Permian–Triassic extinction event.
Cummingellinae is a subfamily of trilobites in the family Phillipsiidae. They were common in shallow waters in the early Carboniferous of Europe. One of the last genera of trilobite, Paraphillipsia, was a cummingelline, making this group one of the last trilobites.
