Acastoidea is a superfamily of trilobites from the order Phacopida, suborder Phacopina. This superfamily is divided into two families, Acastidae and Calmoniidae.[1] This superfamily is distinguishable from the Phacopidae in that eyes are closer to the glabella and that the glabella has lobes, unlike the genera in Phacopidae.
