Kasibelinurus (meaning "sibling of dart tail" for its perceived relation to Belinurus at the time) is a genus of xiphosuran from the Devonian. It is part of the family Kasibelinuridae. The type species and only species of Kasibelinurus is K. amicorum (derived from Latin word amicus meaning 'friend'). The type species was set by J. Pickett in 1993.

Description

The genus Kasibelinurus was described by Pickett as having "Ophthalmic ridges effaced; precardiac field defined by anterior prolongations of the cardiac furrows; opisthosomal pleurae with distinct inner and outer zones." The same source later states that Kasibelinurus had a telson with restricted movement based on the shape of the opisthosoma.
