Cimomia

Cephalopoda - Nautilida - Hercoglossidae

Taxonomy

Cimomia was named by Conrad (1866) [Sepkoski's age data: J Kimm T Ol-l].

It was corrected as Cymomia by Conrad (1866); it was corrected as Cimmomia by Conrad (1868); it was reranked as Angulithes (Cimomia) by Wiedmann (1960).

It was assigned to Cephalopoda by Conrad (1866), Conrad (1868) and Miller and Thompson (1933); to Nautiloidea by Glenister et al. (1956); to Angulithes by Wiedmann (1960); to Nautilida by Hewitt (2002) and Sepkoski (2002); and to Hercoglossidae by Miller (1947), Haas and Miller (1952), Teichert et al. (1964), Shimansky (1975), Adegoke (1977) and Schnetler and Heilmann-Clausen (2011).

Synonyms

Javanoceras was named by Martin (1932).

It was synonymized subjectively with Cimomia by Miller and Thompson (1933).
