1982  Pseudogirtyoceras Wagner-Gentis: 346.

Type species: Pseudogirtyoceras villabellacoi Wagner-Gentis, 1982,p.347 [OD].

Pseudogirtyoceras WAGNER-GENTIS, 1982, p.386 [*P. villabellacoi, p.347; OD]. [? = Zhifangoceras SHENG, 1984,
p.288, type Z. subglobosum, p.289; OD (subj.) or Calygirtyoceras KORN, KLUG & MAPES, 1999].

A:   Conch form involute, with moderately narrow umbilicus and oxycone ventral side at adult stage; early whorls evolute.
B:   Surface of the test almost smooth, on ventral side with faint undulations of  growth lines.
D:   Two to four constrictions on last whorl.
G:   Median saddle of ventral lobe slightly higher than half the entire lobe. Ventro-lateral saddle narrowly rounded and asymmetric.

[Type species insufficiently known. Similar suture line and conch form suggest a close relationship with Zhifangoceras Sheng, 1984 (Pericyclidae) and Calygirtyoceras Korn, Klug & Mapes, 1999; the latter genus may be a junior synonym in the case, a calyx stage of the inner whorls can be proven].
