Batocara is a genus of phacopid trilobites in the family Encrinuridae. The type species, B. bowningi, was described originally as Encrinurus bowningi by Foerste in 1888.[2] In 1980, D.L. Strusz erected Batocara for 'Encrinurus' bowningi. Batocara also contains the species B. borenorense[3] and B. fritillum.
