Type species: Daraelites texanus Böse, 1917, p. 52 [OD].

G:   Ventral lobe relatively broad, strongly trifid and contracted adorally, first lateral lobe very broad, several smaller lateral lobes. First lateral lobe finely denticulate, and the second lateral lobe and prongs of ventral lobe may be incipiently so.

TAX TAX2811 (sutural ontogeny).
   
[Nassichuk, 1975, p.50: The conch of Boesites is discoidal to subdiscoidal and is moderately evolute; the umbilicus of typical
representatives is at least 25 per cent of the conch diameter at maturity.Whorls have a rounded venter, rounded or slightly flattened lateral flanks, and a moderately impressed dorsum. The shell possesses delicate, sinuos growth lamellae, which form ventral and dorsolateral sinuses and a ventolateral salient.
 
The external suture has a broad, trifid, constricted ventral lobe which is typically denticulate, a broad denticulate first lateral lobe and several additional lateral elements, of which the second also may be denticulate. the bifid dorsal lobe is slightly inflated.

Sutural formula is (V2V1V2)LU1U2U3U4U6:U5I(D1D1).]

[Ruzhentsev & Bogoslovskaia, 1978, p.125: Boesites (Eoboesites) Ruzhentsev & Bogoslovskaia: Conch subdiscoidal.  
Whorls moderately evolute.  Cross section elongated, elliptical. Umbilicus moderately tight.  14-16 lobes in all. Ventral lobe quite wide, trifid, with rounded prongs on the sides.  Six umbilical lobes.  

First umbilical lobe wide (sometimes, perhaps, with a hardly discernible serration), fully rounded at the base.  Dorsal lobe thin and deep, with two prongs.  Inner lateral lobe large and asymmetric.  There are no other lobes on the inner side.]
