1998  Minepronorites Nishida, Kyuma & Egashira: 16.

Type species: Minepronorites takahashii Nishida, Kyuma & Egashira, 1998, p.18; OD.

[Nishida et al., 1998, p.16: Moderate to small pronotitid with narrowly discoidal shell. Difference of shell size in mature
stage in accordance with dimorphism. Venter flattened earlier and concave later to maturity. Low but distinct ribs
appear later than onset of concave venter. Very shallow furrow appears on the ventrolateral portion of the outer flank
of mature shell.Suture has a full count of 24 lobes; ventral lobe fairly narrow; first umbilical lobe divided into two equal
parts by a low saddle with diverging flanks; first internal lobe connected with third umbilical lobe.]

[Character of concave ventral side appears to be unstable and only rarely displayed, regarded herein not as of generic
significance.]
