Proetidae is a family of proetid trilobites.
The first species appeared in the Upper Ordovician,[1] and the last genera survived until the Middle Permian.
However, if the closely related family Phillipsiidae is actually a subfamily of Proetidae, then the proetids of Proetidae survive until the end of the Permian, where the last perish during the Permian–Triassic extinction event.
[2] Proetidae ostensibly contains these following genera, though many may be placed in Phillipsiidae if the latter is, indeed, a distinct family.
