Pribyl & Vanek, in Pribyl et al., 1985

Demeterops is a genus of trilobites in the order Phacopida, that existed during the lower Ordovician in what is now the United States . It was described by Pribyl and Vanek in 1985, and the type species is Demeterops loella, which was originally described as a dubious species in the genus Pilekia by Demeter, in 1973. The new generic name honours the species' original author. The type locality was the Fillmore Formation in Utah.[1]
