}}

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.{{cite web | title= Paleobiology Database - Campylites | year = | url = https://paleobiodb.org/classic/checkTaxonInfo?taxon_no=251787| access-date = 2017-10-19 }}

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.
