Type species: Goniatites abichianus Möller,1879,p.230 [M].


[Spath, 1930, p.8]: "Involute, smooth, subglobose goniatites with Gastrioceras suture-line, but rounded umbilical border."

[Ruzhentsev, 1974, p.27:] Large subdiscoconic shell, with narrow venter. Whorls highly involute. Umbilicus narrow (Du/D in the range 0.11-0.15), conical in first whorls, sometimes step-like in final whorls. Sculpture represented by well-developed, fine, medium or coarse lirae covering only the peripheral part of the shell, and by very fine lines. The number of lirae varies in the range 12-40. Umbilical tubercles and constrictions absent even on early whorls. Lines forming ventral sinus. Ventral lobe fairly broad (wl/hl>1), with diverging sides and broad, sharply asymmetric, fanglike branches; median saddle of average height (hy/hl~ 0.50), with narrow apex.

[Miller & Furnish, 1940, p.82: Conch subglobular to subdiscoidal and rounded ventrally. Umbilicus moderately large to moderately small. Surface of conch bears numerous longitudinal ribs or lirae. Umbilical zones nodose at least during early growth-stages. In some forms umbilical nodes are lost during adolescence whereas in others they are retained until maturity. Sinuous transverse constrictions also are present during at least early growth-stages but are lost during ontogenetic development. Sutures are of the typical gastrioceran type, that is, each forms a total of eight lobes, only the ventral one of which is divided].
