11 genera: Asteropyge, Digonus, Cyphaspis, Delocare, Drotops, Gerastos, Greenops, Paracryphaeus, Parahomalonotus, Phacops and Pseudocryphaeus are found in the devonian of Portugal.

Any chance you can provide better images?

Best regards,

Paul

According to Caprichoso et al. 2016, there are 11 Devonian genera, but Drotops is only found in Morocco. Acaste is the one missing from your list.

It certainly looks like a phacopid. Instead of lateral oblique view, a top-down photo would assist further.
