Agraulidaeedit
Agraulidae is a family of trilobites within the superfamily Ellipsocephaloidea. Members of this family are characterized by their large size and distinctive cephalic features.
Bigotinidaeedit
Bigotinidae is another family of trilobites within the superfamily Ellipsocephaloidea. Members of this family are known for their small size and elongated body shape.
Ellipsocephalidaeedit
Ellipsocephalidae is a family of trilobites within the superfamily Ellipsocephaloidea. Members of this family are characterized by their oval-shaped cephalon and distinctive thoracic segments.
Estaingiidaeedit
Estaingiidae is a family of trilobites within the superfamily Ellipsocephaloidea. Members of this family are known for their large size and distinctive pygidium.
Palaeolenidaeedit
Palaeolenidae is a family of trilobites within the superfamily Ellipsocephaloidea. Members of this family are characterized by their small size and distinctive cephalic features.
Yunnanocephalidaeedit
Yunnanocephalidae is a family of trilobites within the superfamily Ellipsocephaloidea. Members of this family are known for their large size and distinctive thoracic segments.
Ecologyedit
These trilobites were fast-moving low-level epifaunal deposit feeders.
