Proetoidea is a superfamily of trilobites in the order Proetida.[1][2]

Taxonomy

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]
