Cambroproteus is a genus of ptychopariid trilobite from the Late Cambrian of Morocco.[1] It has a single known species, Cambroproteus lemdadensis, whose various features are shared with disparate groups of other ptychopariids, which make it difficult to place within other established ptychopariid families.[1]
