Polystomurum is a genus known from a single Devonian-aged fossil from Siberia, Russia. It was originally described in 1958 as a eurypterid, an extinct aquatic arthropod, with affinities to Marsupipterus inside the family Stylonuridae. Today it is classified only as incertae sedis within Euchelicerata, meaning its precise family relationships are unresolved.
