Cephalopoda - Ammonitida - Perisphinctidae
Sepkoski's Genus Compendium cites House and Senior's (1981) THE AMMONOIDEA as his source, which implies this name is Pseudovirgatites Vetters 1905. Some PBDB user added the following note in Dec 2017: “Pseudovirgatites” sensu Kutek et Zeiss, 1974 non Vetters, 1905", implying a homonym. Although the reference for collection 190664 (Rogov, et al., 2017) suggests such a distinction, the source Kutek and Zeiss paper in Acta Geologica Polonica does not formally create a new genus, and so I have reverted the authority to Vetters, 1905.
