'''Harpetidae''' is a [family](/source/Family_(taxonomy)) of [trilobite](/source/trilobite)s in the [order](/source/Order_(biology)) [Harpetida](/source/Harpetida). They first appear in the [Furongian](/source/Furongian) (Late [Cambrian](/source/Cambrian)) epoch.<ref name="Mindat"></ref><ref name="AdrainWestrop2pp4"></ref> The [Taghanic event](/source/Taghanic_event) at the end of the [Middle Devonian](/source/Middle_Devonian) would impact them severely, with no [genera](/source/genera) from before surviving to the [Frasnian](/source/Frasnian), where two new genera, ''[Eskoharpes](/source/Eskoharpes)'' and ''[Globoharpes](/source/Globoharpes)'' appear, before going extinct themselves in the [Kellwasser event](/source/Kellwasser_event).<ref name="Mcnamaraetal2009"></ref> ''Globoharpes'' may be a synonym of ''Eskoharpes''.<ref name="JOHNSON2024"></ref>
