Vallites RUZHENTSEV & BOGOSLOVSKAIA, 1971, p.20 [type species: Homoceras henkei SCHMIDT, 1934, p.453; OD].

A: Early whorls evolute, with rounded umbilical shoulder, no "calyx" stage; later whorls highly involute, umbilicus very
narrow.
C, F: Umbilical wall ornamented with spiral lirae. Transverse striae simple or dichotomizing, forming ventral sinus.
G: Ventral lobe rather wide, with cuneiform branches; median saddle fairly high. Adventitious lobe shorter than ventral lobe.

[Ruzhentsev & Bogoslovskaia, 1971, p.20]: Shell of young individuals pachyconic, with rounded umbilical shoulder, adult
shell subdiscoconic; calyx stage lacking. Whorls highly involute. Umbilicus from very narrow to narrow. Sculpture consisting
of fine lamellae- simple or dichotomizing, forming ventral sinus. The adumbilical ridge, frequently ornamented with lirae, is
characteristic. Ventral lobe not very wide (wl/hl~1), with cuneiform branches; median saddle fairly high.  In adult shells,
lateral lobe shorter than ventral lobe.Distinguished from Isohomoceras and Homoceras by narrower shell
and by the presence of an adumbilical ridge and from Homoceras, additionally, by the lack of a calyx stage and by the short
lateral lobe.

[Ruzhentsev et Bogoslovskaya, 1978, p.193: Conch of young specimens with rounded umbilical rim;  calyx stage absent.  Conch subdiscicone in adult state.  Whorls very involute.  Umbilicus very tight to tight.  Sculpture represented by thin, simple or dichotome lamellae, which form a ventral sinus.  A preumbilical spiral fold, often ornamented by lirae, is characteristical.  Ventral lobe not very wide (w/h approx. 1), with wedge shaped prongs.  Side lobe shorter than ventral lobe in adults.]
