| Eotrogulus fayoli Thevenin, 1901 |
The Eotrogulidae are a family of fossil harvestmen with a single described species from the Carboniferous. Eotrogulus fayoli was found in the Coal Measures of Commentry in northern France, together with Nemastomoides elaveris (Nemastomoididae). At one stage E. fayoli was erroneously thought to be a trigonotarbid.[1]
