Type species: Glyphioceras diadema verneuili Yanishevskii, 1900, p.322 [OD].

A:   Conch at early growth stage widely umbilicate, adult conch form involute, with narrow, in some forms very narrow
      umbilicus.
B:   Growth lines almost linear, without sharp ventrolateral salient. Early stages display finely crenulate lirae, which may
       became later delicately reticulate.
C:   Umbilical plications or nodelike riblets present.
D:   Some forms with constrictions.
G:   Ventral lobe considerably wide, median saddle reaching two third of height of entire ventral lobe.

[Pygmaeoceras is based on immature specimens which seem to be congeneric with Verneuilites; for discussion see
MANGER & SAUNDERS, 1980, p.46; Paraverneuilites Popov, 1976, p.76, type species: Paraverneuilites linter
Popov,1979, p.76 [OD]: Like Verneuilites, but no umbilical nodes and reticulate ornamentation. [Type material may be immature (maximal size: 13 mm diameter). Conch shape similar to Verneuilites, suture-line of type species not known, assignment to Surenitinae uncertain].

[Ruzhentsev et Bogoslovskaya, 1978, p.236: Conch subdiscoidal to pachycone.  Whorls very or completely involute.  Umbilicus moderately tight to tight.  Umbilical folds, which form into protuberances on the umbilical rim are present in young shells.  From the umbilical protuberances (or ribs) clusters of very thin, dense, crenulated riblets depart.  These form a ventral sinus, which becomes deeper with age;  ventrolateral prominence not very large.  Very thin and dense lirae present.  Ventral lobe very wide (w/h = 1.10 - 1.20), normally with diverging sides.  Median saddle not very high (saddle height / lobe height approx. 0.60).]
