Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. Fryda and J.C. Gutierrez-Marco 1996 | Medium-sized sinuitid molluscs with isostrophical, laterally depressed shell; outer shell surface entirely covered by secondary shell deposits; anterior apertural margin with wide V-shaped sinus; transverse ornamentation on inductural surface; perinductural surface smooth.
Among sinuitid genera, Hispanosinuites new genus most closely approaches the family type genus Sinuites Koken, 1896, in terms of the general form of its shell and wide sinus on the aperture. It is easily distinguished from all other genera of the family Sinuitidae by the presence of secondary shell deposits entirely covering the outer shell surface. It differs from representatives of the family Euphemitidae in the form of the apertural margin. | |
