The rediscovery of the supposedly lost type allows a revision of Alpinites Bogoslovskiy, 1971, the most advanced
genus of the Posttornoceratidae. The type-species, Alp. kayseri Schindewolf 1923, is so far only known from the
Carnic Alps.  Alp. schultzei n. sp. from the eastern Anti-Atlas of Morocco is closely related to Alp. kajraktensis n. sp.
( Alp. kayseri in Bogoslovskiy 1971) from Kazakhstan.  A second new and more common species of southern
Morocco, Alp. zigzag n. sp., is also known  from  the Holy Cross Mountains (Poland).
     The taxonomy and phylogeny of other Posttornoceratidae are discussed.  The holotype of Exotornoceras
nehdense (Lange, 1929) was recovered and is re-illustrated; it is conspecific with Exot. superstes (Wedekind, 1908).  
The genus and species is also here first recorded from Morocco.  Post. weyeri Korn, 1999 is a subjective synonym
of Post. posthumum (Wedekind, 1918) in which strongly biconvex growth lines, as typical for the family, are observed
for the first time. Goniatites lenticularis Richter, 1848 is a nomen dubium within Discoclymenia, Clymenia polytrichus
in Richter  (1848) is a Falcitornoceras.  It seems possible to distinguish an extreme thin and trochoid Disco. haueri
(Münster, 1840) from the tegoid Disco. cucullata (v.  Buch, 1839).
     Various taxa are excluded from the Posttornoceratidae.  Posttornoceras sapiens Korn, 1999 forms the type-species
of Maideroceras n. gen.. Discoelymenia n. sp. of Müller  (1956) is assigned to Maid. muelleri n. sp.  Disco.
cornwallensis is the type-species of  Selwoodites n.gen. (Sporadoceratidae) which also occurs in the Rhenish Massive.
