TaxonomyProetus is the type genus of the order Proetida, and of the family Proetidae. The genus became a wastebasket taxon that held numerous species of similar looking trilobites from the Ordovician to Carboniferous periods. Most of these species have been split off into other genera, leaving only P. concinnus and P. latifrons as the only confirmed members.[1]DistributionFossils of the type species, P. concinnus, are found in Wenlock-aged marine strata of Sweden, Great Britain, Estonia, and Germany. Fossils of the other recognized species, P. latifrons, are found in Llandovery-aged marine strata of Ireland and Great Britain.[1] References{{Portal|Arthropods|Paleontology|Paleozoic}}1. ^1 2 3 {{cite journal|last= Lieberman|first=B.S. |year= 1994|title= Evolution of the trilobite subfamily Proetinae Salter, 1864, and the origin, diversification, evolutionary affinity, and extinction of the Middle Devonian Proetic fauna of Eastern North America|journal= Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History|volume= 223|pages= 1–176|url= http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/831}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q3922538}}{{proetida-stub}}2. ^Storey, Andrew James.
