Conocephalites

Conocephalites Barrande, 1852, is a disused name for a genus of trilobite, of which the species have now been reassigned to other genera. The name was introduced as a replacement for Conocephalus Zenker, 1833, which was unavailable since Thunberg used it in 1815 for a genus of conehead bushcricket. Barrande however was unaware that Conocoryphe had already been proposed by Hawle and Corda in 1847.

C. cirina = Conocoryphe cirina
C. elegans = Bailiaspis elegans
C. eryon = Kendallina eryon
C. hofensis = Bavarilla hofensis
C. micros = Conocoryphe micros
C. nasutus = Maustonia nasutus
C. ornatus = Conokephalina ornata
C. oweni = Stigmacephalus oweni
C. patersoni = Psalaspis patersoni
C. robbi = Brunswickia robbi
C. shumardi = Taenicephalus shumardi
C. stephensi = Tasmanocephalus stephensi
C. subcoronatus = Alokistocare subcoronatus^[3]
C. sulzeri = Conocoryphe sulzeri
C. zenkeri = Loganopeltoides zenkeri
