Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| C. Spinosa et al. 1975 | Ancestral otoceratids characterized by thinly lenticular conch form and by sutures with only eight fully isolated lobes. The sutural formula is unknown, but judging from relative sizes of lobes in small specimens, it may be interpreted as (V1V1)LI(I2I4:I3)I1(D1D1) |
