Type species: Pronorites cyclolobus arkansiensis Smith,1896,p.267 [OD].

A:   Conch discoidal and highly involute (U/D less than 15 percent at maturity). Flanks flat, venter rounded.
B:   Smooth in early stage, at maturity ribs crossing the venter and extending on the ventrolateral flanks to about the position of the first lateral lobe.
G:   22-26 lobes at maturity. High constricted saddle separating first lateral lobe into two more or less equal parts. This saddle is two-thirds the height of first lateral saddle.

[Nassichuk, 1975, p.57: The conch of Pseudopronorites is discoidal and high involute;
U/D is less than 15 per cent at maturity. Lateral flanks are flat and the venter is
evenly round. Shell is smooth during early ontogeny, but at maturity ribs cross the
venter and extend onto the ventolateral flanks to about the position of the first
lateral lobe. The mature suture has from 22 to 26 lobes; 7 to 8 pairs of lobes are
situated externally on either side of the simple dorsal lobe. A high constricted
saddle separates the first lateral lobe into two more or less equal parts; this
saddle is at least two-thirds height of the first lateral saddle.]
