Type
species:
Pachylyroceras constrictum
Ruzhencev and Bogoslovskaya, 1971
.
Genus diagnosis: Representatives of the family
Neoglyphioceratidae
with subevolute to evolute conch, which becomes more evolute in the adult stage. 20–30 coarse spiral lines, growth lines, and shell constrictions nearly linear or with low ventral projection. Suture line with narrow external lobe, usually with slightly sinuous flanks.

:
Uralyroceras arquatum
new species
; South Urals. (new name for
Pachylyroceras cloudi
in
Ruzhencev and Bogoslovskaya, 1971
, p. 244).
esini

Discussion:
Uralyroceras
differs from
Pachylyroceras
in the course of the shell constrictions, which extend with a low and wide projection across the venter in the new genus but with a ventral sinus as in
Pachylyroceras
.
