The genus Cibolaites is a strongly ribbed and nodose ammonoid cephalopod from the middle Cretaceous of western New Mexico, included in the taxonomic family Collignoniceratidae.

Cibolaites is a moderate-sized, somewhat involute genus, with a moderate umbilicus, that bears broad rounded ribs on the flanks which bifurcate from the umbilical shoulder on larger specimens.

Whorl section is broadest though the umbilical shoulders, flanks converge moderately on a broadly rounded venter.

Cibolaites was discovered in lower Turonian sediments in the Fence Lake area south of Gallop in western New Mexico associated with Neoptychites and Fagesia.

The species is named for C. M. Molinaar who investigated mid-Cretaceous stratigraphy in northwest New Mexico and discovered the Fence Lake Fauna.
