Jeholops is an extinct genus of notostracan which existed in the Yixian Formation, inner Mongolia, China during the early Cretaceous period (Barremian age).[1] It was described by Thomas A. Hegna and Ren Dong in 2010, and the only species is Jeholops hongi.[1]
As with the genus Chenops, and unlike the modern genera Triops or Lepidurus, Jeholops lacked eyes.
