Type species Paraceltites hoeferi Gemmellaro 1887, p.73 [OD].

Figure see TAX5087 (Miller & Furnish 1940, fig.17).

Paraceltitins with:
A:   Rounded ventral side.
G:   Unserrated lobes.
Suture formula: [Russ.]  (V1V1) L I : (D1D1) or (V1V1) L I I1: (D1D1)

[Miller & Furnish, 1940, p.65: Typical  species of this  genus are narrowly discoidal evolute forms with rather prominent surface ornamentation and relatively simple sutures. The surface ornametation consists of growth-lines and sinuous ribs. The growth-lines are oblique to the long axis of the conch and slope orad from the venter. Each forms a prominent ventral salient and on either side  of it rounded lateral sinus, a similar lateral salient, and  a small sinus on the umbilical wall. The ribs are small, numerous, and parallel to growth-lines. They are prominent on only the lateral zone of the conch. The living chamber has been observed in most of the American species to be about half a volution in length].
