MEM5687   Neopronorites Ruzhentsev, 1936:

RUZHENTSEV 1950, p.61: Conch discoidal, quite involute, with flat, parallel sides and more or less rounded ventral side.  The whorl height to width ratio varies from 1.3-1.8.  Umbilicus diameter to conch diameter ratio ranges from 0.11-0.17.  Siphuncle lobe trifid, with a short middle saddle.  First lateral lobe wide, symmetrically bifid;  its elements are usually serrated, mode of secondary dissociation varies greatly.  4-7 lateral lobes in all (4 a rare exception), of these, the second, third and sometimes the fourth are serrated.  2-3 umbilical lobes.  Outer saddle lower than first lateral saddle.  An antisiphuncular and no less than 4 lateral lobes are present on the inner side; of these, the antisiphuncular lobe  is sharply two-parted, first lateral usually dissociated, the others rounded at the base.  First inner lobe connected to second or third outer lateral lobe.

[Leonova, 1989, p.82]: Conch subplatycone to discocone, involute to moderately involute, with flat lateral sides and more or less flattened venter.  Umbilicus tight.  Shell smooth.  Suture line consists of a threeparted ventral, 4-7 external umbilical, 2-3 umbilical, 3-4 inner umbilical, an inner lateral and a twopronged dorsal lobe.  2nd to 4th first external umbilical lobes usually serrated, the serration being irregular and higly variable.
