Type species Lenzites gesinae Klug, 2001

"Klug (2001) assigned his new species to Lenzites Becker& House, 1994 and agreed that the genus occupies an intermediate positionbetween the Teicherticeratidae and Mimoceratidae.

Lenzites has much lower WER, rursiradiate (notrectiradiate), slightly biconvex (not fully concavo-convex) growth lines, witha shallow (not deep) flank sinus, and impressions on the venter as in Chebbites.There is no evidence for an imprint zone or dorsal (internal) lobe.

Klugites gen.nov. combines the distinctive and advanced Gyroceratites-type ornamentwith the introduction of an imprint zone. Therefore, it is regarded as adescendent of Gyroceratites, not as an ancestor.

Lenzites remains at its transitional position betweenthe Teicherticeratidae and Gyroceratites." (Becker, 2015)
