"Paciphacops" is a genus of trilobites from the order Phacopida, suborder Phacopina. This genus is easily mistaken for the more common and popular genus "Phacops" and "Kainops". It takes a careful eye to spot the difference. One major differences between "Paciphacops" and "Phacops" is that the glabella on the cephalon extends beyond the anterior margin. The difference between Paciphacops and "Kainops" is that "Kainops" has more eye facets that "Paciphacops". This genus can be found primarily in the United States and Australia.
