Type species: Gastrioceras beluensis Haniel, 1915, p. 54; OD.

[Mapes et al., 1997, p.207: Conch generally evolute and wide, having widely rounded to flattened venter and conspicuous
umbilical shoulders. Ornament transverse or a combination of longitudinal and transverse lirae. Suture characterized by
moderate to strong inflation of internal and external lobes, saddles broadly rounded.]

Sutural formula: [German] (E1EmE1)ALUI, [Russian] (V1V1)LU:ID.

[Nassichuk, 1975, p.115: The conch of Somoholites is thickly discoidal and moderately evolute; U/D typically approximates 40 per cent. Shell ornament includes fine longitudinal lirae on the venter and flanks. Faint growth lamellae form a low, broad ventral salient. The suture is characterized by sharply attenuate external and internal lobes that possess prominent lateral pouches. Prongs of the ventral lobe are moderately asymmetric and the secondary ventral saddle is about half the height of the lateral saddle. The first lateral lobe and the first lateral saddle have approximately the same width].
