Pruemopterus is a genus of eurypterid, an extinct group of aquatic arthropods. The type and only species of Pruemopterus, P. salgadoi, is known only from a single fossil specimen, discovered in deposits of Early Devonian age in Germany. The generic name is derived from the Prüm river and the surrounding Prüm valley, which contains the finding place of the fossil, and the Greek πτερόν (pteron, "wing"), referring to the eurypterid swimming paddles, and the species name honors the Brazilian photographer and photojournalist Sebastião Salgado.

  • Pruemopterus is a genus of eurypterid, an extinct group of aquatic arthropods. The type and only species of Pruemopterus, P. salgadoi, is known only from a single fossil specimen, discovered in deposits of Early Devonian age in Germany. The generic name is derived from the Prüm river and the surrounding Prüm valley, which contains the finding place of the fossil, and the Greek πτερόν (pteron, "wing"), referring to the eurypterid swimming paddles, and the species name honors the Brazilian photographer and photojournalist Sebastião Salgado. Pruemopterus was a very small adelophthalmid eurypterid, with the type and only known specimen only measuring about 2.5 centimeters (0.98 in) in length. Although superficially similar to the related genus Parahughmilleria, Pruemopterus can be distinguished from other adelophthalmids by several features, most notably its wide and vaguely rectangular carapace (head plate) and its rounded, rather than elongated, eyes. Pruemopterus lived alongside other Early Devonian animals, including several other eurypterid genera, in a shallow brackish to fresh water environment. (en)
