     Superfamily Parawocklumerioidea: In contrast to Becker, 2000, the superfamily is regarded
     as an independly developed group; the triangular characters of the conch form are regarded as coeval
     homoeomorphic features in Wocklumeriidae, Parawocklumeriidae, Hexaclymeniidae (Soliclymenia) and
     Prionoceratidae (Mimimitoceras). [See below.]

     Only family: Parawocklumeriidae.

     Ventral lobe as well as dorsal lobe developed only in early ontogenetic stages, replaced later by highly elevated
     secondary saddles in later ontogeny. The possession of a dorsal saddle is unique among Clymeniida. Advanced
     species may develop median lobe within the median saddle.

A:   Conch in earlier forms subdiscoidal, widely umbilical, in later forms subglobose, almost completely involute with
      depressed whorls and minute umbilicus.
B:   Growth lines originally with lateral and ventral sinus, in derived forms nearly rectiradiate.
C:   No marked ribs.
D:   Whorls triangular in outline with three deep radial constrictions at least in juvenile stages, expanding there to the
      adult conch of later representatives.
F:   Some forms with faint spiral striation.
G:   Suture of early ontogenetic stages characterised by a small shallow lateral lobe, an extreemely broad and shallow
       ventral lobe and a broadly rounded dorsal lobe; basic sutural formula of
      early ontogenetic stages: [Germ.] ELI, [Russ.] V:UD. In later ontogenetic stages the ventral and the dorsal lobe each
      divided by a broad and progressively smaller median saddle; suture formula of advanced forms: [Germ.] (E1 E1)L(I1 I1),
       [Russ.] (V1 V1)U:(D1 D1). Shallow median lobe within median saddle in some forms.

       In the deep constrictions and the triangular shape of the conch Parawocklumeriidae resemble the situation to be
       found in the Wocklumeriidae (Gonioclymeniina). The different suture lines of both groups prove this to be merely the
       result of homeomorphy. The replacement of the ventral lobe by a saddle appears to be
       similar to the situation among Clymeniina.]
