Nelomites is genus of ammonoid cephalopods belonging to the Cheiloceratidae family. Species belonging to this genus lived in late Devonian ( Famennian). This genus was originally described under the name Melonites Bogoslovskii, 1971; however, the same generic name has also been used for genus of echinoid named Melonites Norwood & Owen, 1846. [3] Bockwinkel, Korn & Herd (2019) coined a replacement generic name Nelomites. [4]
