Kainops is a genus of trilobites from the family Phacopidae, order Phacopida.[1] It can be distinguished from Paciphacops by the greater number of facets to the eye (6–8 per row, compared to 3–4 in Paciphacops).[2] The form of the furrow between the palpebral area and the palpebral lobe also distinguishes Kainops from the genera Paciphacops and Viaphacops.[2]
Species included in the genus are:[3][4]
- Kainops chlupaci Budil & Kolář, 2004
- Kainops ekphymus (Jones et al., 1986)
- Kainops guttulus (Campbell 1967)
- Kainops invius (Campbell 1977)
- Kainops microps (Chatterton, Johnson and Campbell, 1979)
- Kainops raymondi (Delo 1935)
- Kainops veles (Chlupac 1972)
