Type species: Muensteroceratoides aksuensis Popov, 1965, p.37
[OD].

From Konovalova (2015):


Di a g n o s i s. Shell large, pachyconic or subdiscoconic, with involute whorls at all growth stages. Umbilicus narrow. Umbilical shoulder is angular and distinct. WW/Dm ratio gradually increasing in ontogeny.

Ornamentation of transverse growth lines and constrictions forming a ventral sinus and a ventrolateral projection. Ventral lobe narrow, its sides weakly convex in lower part and distinctly converging at top. Base of ventral lobe wider than top part. First lateral saddle widely rounded. Lateral lobe wedgeshaped.

S p e c i e s c o m p o s i t i o n. Type species.

C omp a r i s o n. This genus is distinguished from the morphologically similar genus Muensteroceras Hyatt, 1884 by the shape of the ventral lobe, the lateral sides of which are weakly convex and are noticeably converging in the upper part, whereas in Muensteroceras they are parallel throughout. It differs from Dzhaprakoceras Popov, 1965 in the wider, scalate

umbilicus, and the sides of the ventral love converging at the top. If differs from Eurites Kuzina, 1973 in the narrower shell and the suture outline. It is distinguished from other genera in the sutural outline.
