1988 Emstites Korn: 140.

Type species: Paraglyphioceras schaelkense Brüning, 1923, p.29 [OD].

A: Conch form thick-discoidal to globular. Umbilicus of early whorls very wide, later narrow or moderately wide.
Umbilical edge well developed.
B: Ornamentation consisting of fine biconvex or convex growth lines.
F: Some species with faint spiral lirae.
G: Ventral lobe rather narrow and V-shaped, median saddle moderately low, first lateral saddle asymmetrical and
very narrow in juvenile specimens. Adventitious lobe symmetric.

[Closely related to Cravenoceras, probably its younger synonym; some authors regard minor differences in the
ontogenetic development of the ventral lobe and ventrolateral saddle as sufficient to warrant generic separation
(for discussion see Korn & Tilsley, 2002, p.116)]
