Central Europe(Schmidt 1925; Schindewolf 1926b; Vöhringer 1960; Bartzsch et al. 2003): Gattendorfia nodosa Schmidt, 1925; Protocanites supradevonicus Schindewolf, 1926; Protocanites planus Schindewolf, 1926; Protocanites spiratissimus Schindewolf, 1926; Protocanites supradevonicus brevis Vöhringer, 1960; Protocanites planus tener Vöhringer, 1960; Eocanites ruani Bartzsch, Korn & Weyer, 2003; Eocanites delicatus sp. nov.

North Africa (Bockwinkel & Ebbighausen 2006; Ebbighausen & Bockwinkel 2007): Eocanites dkorni Bockwinkel & Ebbighausen, 2006; Eocanites rtbeckeri Bockwinkel & Ebbighausen, 2006; Eocanites simplex Bockwinkel & Ebbighausen, 2006.

South China (Sun & Shen 1965; Ruan & He 1974; Ruan 1981): Asioclymenia asiatica Sun & Shen, 1965; Eocanites briareus Ruan, 1981; Eocanites circinatus Ruan, 1981; Eocanites curvicostatus Ruan, 1981; Eocanites holcoventrus Ruan, 1981; E ocanites huishuiensis Ruan, 1981; Eocanites nanus Ruan, 1981; Eocanites retiolus Ruan, 1981; Eocanites robustus Ruan, 1981; Eocanites rursiradiatus Ruan, 1981; Eocanites stenosellatus Ruan, 1981.

Remarks

Eocanites, along with Protocanites, is the genus of the entire order Prolecanitida with the simplest suture line consisting only of the elements E A L U I. In contrast to Protocanites with a V-shaped external lobe, Eocanites has a parallel-sided or slightly pouched external lobe.
