Type species: Acrocanites multilobatus Schindewolf, 1922, p. 15 [OD].

Conch form similar Prodromites, but with moderately wide umbilicus. Six or seven regular lanceolate lobes on flanks.
[Ontogenetic development of suture unknown. WEYER, 1972 assumes a trifid ventral lobe like the homeomorphic
Neopharciceras kurbatovi with the sutural formula [Germ.] E1EmE1LU2-7..., [Russ.] V2V1V2UU1U2....]. Assignment to Prodromitidae questionable.
