Nephranops is an extinct genus of phacopid trilobite that lived during the Famennian stage of the Devonian period. Nephranops is known from Famennian deposits in France, Germany, and Morocco.
Palaeobiology Nephranops incisus incisus had both a planktonic and a benthic protaspid larval stage, similar to other phacopids. Its ontogeny during the meraspid phase closely resembled that of Phacops and Weyerites.
