1971 Entogonitidae Ruzhentsev & Bogoslovskaia: 166.
2010 Entogonitidae.-Korn et al.: 160.

Shell surface with prominent dichotomizing ribs. Inner whorls tetragonal.


Korn, Jovanović, Novak and Sudar - 2010: "Traditionally, the genus has been placed near Nomismoceras, based on the thinly discoidal, relatively widely umbilicate conch, the ornament with rather high ventrolateral projection, and the suture line with rounded adventive lobe. With the discovery of the new genus Ubites, Entogonites can be connected phylogenetically with other Early Carboniferous ammonoids, suggesting that Nomismoceras is probably not a close relative. Ubites gen. nov., which possesses an ornament like Entogonites but an ontogeny with an evolute ribbed juvenile stage and closure of the umbilicus in the later ontogenetic stage (similar to Calygirtyoceras), may link the family Entogonitidae with ammonoids such as the Girtyoceratidae. The family Entogonitidae is therefore tentatively placed in the superfamily Girtyocerataceae."
