Invalid and dubious genera [WIP]

[edit]

[Could be confined to a section of their own - low priority to fix this part right now, should probably have a bit different structure than the rest]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The species N. lanceolata reached lengths of approximately 16 centimetres (6.3 in),[4] but its classification is uncertain and it is more likely to be part of the Eurypteroidea rather than Nanahughmilleria.[5]
  2. ^ Classification uncertain due to poor quality photographs in the original description and the probable loss of the type specimen. Variously seen as a genus close to Adelophthalmus, as incertae sedis within the Eurypterida, or ignored altogether.[9]
  3. ^ Highly uncertain classification: the fragmentary fossil material appears to combine features of both the Carcinosomatidae and the Megalograptidae[12] and could possibly represent two different genera.[13] Holmipterus was recovered in the Carcinosomatidae in a 2015 phylogenetic analysis.[14]
  4. ^ The species R. cicerops is known from considerably smaller specimens, but all known R. cicerops specimens are juveniles.[15]
  5. ^ Previously reported size estimates in excess of 2 metres (6.6 ft) were erroneous, based on mistaken interpretations of fragmentary fossil material.[18]
  6. ^ Also potentially present in Australia.[23]
  7. ^ The species E. grandis may have reached a maximum size of 2.5 metres (8.2 ft), though this is based on isolated fossil remains and is in need of verification.[4]
  8. ^ Fragmentary fossil, possibly synonym of Pterygotus or Erettopterus.[27]
  9. ^ Classified as Eurypterina incertae sedis in its original description but suggested to probably belong to the Adelophthalmoidea on account of several morphological traits.[31]
