Campylites is a genus within the oppeliida subfamily Ochetoceratinae, equivalent to Neoprionoceras Spath 1928, that lived during the Oxfordian state at the beginning of the Late Jurassic.[2]
Campylites differs from Ochetoceras in its narrower and more definitely tricarinate venter and in having more distinct primary ribs. It also lacks the mid lateral groove characteristic of Ochetoceras.
