***Maideria falipoui*** is a long-snouted [brachythoracid](/source/Brachythoraci) [arthrodire](/source/Arthrodire) [placoderm](/source/Placoderm) from the Lower Middle [Givetian](/source/Givetian) [epoch](/source/Epoch_(geology)) of Middle [Devonian](/source/Devonian) South Morocco, in what is now the [Anti-Atlas](/source/Anti-Atlas) Mountains. Although *M. falipoui* superficially resembles *[Buchanosteus](/source/Buchanosteus)*, albeit with an elongated snout or [rostrum](/source/Rostrum_(anatomy)), *M. falipoui* is considered to be a [basal](/source/Basal_(evolution)) member of the group [Coccosteina](/source/Coccosteina), thus, it has not yet been given any [familial](/source/Family_(taxonomy)) ranking.
