Ctenorhabdotus capulus is an extinct species of ctenophore (Commonly known as comb jelly), known from the Canadian Burgess shale in British Columbia. It is approximately 510 to 515 million years old and was equipped with 24 comb rows, three times as many as known from modern ctenophores.
Two other cambrian ctenophore fossils are Fasciculus vesanus and Xanioascus canadensis.
