Diagnosis
Genus of the subfamily
Tornoceratinae
with strongly compressed conch, umbilicus closed in the adult stage. Without ventrolateral grooves. Ornament with biconvex growth lines, without ribs. Sutural formula E A L I; adventive lobe broadly rounded, asymmetric with steep dorsal flank; ventrolateral saddle narrow.
Etymology
After the Latin nomen ‘
lens
’ = ‘lentil’, because of the conch shape, and the reference to the genus
Tornoceras
.

species.
Remarks
Lentitornoceras
gen. nov.
is easily distinguished from all other tornoceratids by its extremely discoidal conch shape. Furthermore, the course of the growth lines shows differences to other genera; in
Lentitornoceras
a clear dorsolateral projection is developed, which is only very indistinct in the other genera.
