Genus Neodonaldina Bandel, 1996

Fig. 9E .

Type species: Spirocyclina elongata Zardini, 1978 , original designation; Late Triassic , North Italy .

Included species: Spirocyclina elongata Zardini, 1978 , Late Triassic;? Neodonaldina ampezzana Bandel, 1996 , Late Triassic; Neodonaldina sinuata Gründel and Nützel, 1998 , Pliensbachian; Neodonaldina sterpa Gründel, 2006 , late Bathonian; Neodonaldina carixiana Gründel, 2007b , Pliensbachian.

Diagnosis.—Shell slender with convex whorls; whorls not shouldered; suture deep; protoconch tofanellid, consisting of about two whorls; teleoconch whorls ornamented with spiral ribs which can become weaker during ontogeny; growth lines opisthocyrt to parasigmoidal; base convex, not demarcated from whorl face.

Remarks.— Neodonaldina has been assigned to the family Donaldinidae . However, the type species ( Bandel 1996: fig. 5d; see also Fig. 9E 1 herein) as well as other species (e.g., N. carixiana ; Gründel 2007b: pl. 6: 23) do not have a donaldinid protoconch but a tofanellid one sensu Bandel (2005: 8, 19).

Stratigraphic and geographic range.—Late Triassic to Bathonian; Germany, France, North Italy.
