Description Emended diagnosis: Small to medium-sized paradagmaritin characterized by two stages of growth: initial stage is enrolled, biserial, involute, slightly trochospiral, and terminal uncoiled, also biserial, and relatively long. Wall dark, microgranular to granular, relatively thin, single- or multilayered. Chambers inflated. Aperture simple, terminal, interio-marginal with a valvula.
Occurrence: According to KOTLYAR et al. (1989, n° 24 of tabl. 1), the first representative of the subfamily appears in the latest Khachikian (top of Midian) of Transcaucasia. This unique data must be confirmed (see below). In our material, the range is late Wuchiapingian-Changhsingian. The subfamily is Palaeotethyan and Neotethyan, principally known in Turkey (Taurus; ALTINER, 1984a, b), Iran (Zagros), Saudi Arabia (VACHARD et al., 2005) and NW Caucasus (PRONINA-NESTELL & NESTELL, 2001), but mentioned from Italy to Japan. The Paradagmarita from Afghanistan described by VACHARD (1980) are Louisettita, those from Thailand and Pakistan are very atypical. The Paradagmarita of Japan (KOBAYASHI, 1997, 2004) belong to Paradagmaritopsis, a genus also observed in southern China (GAILLOT et al., submitted; this study), but it seems likely that true Paradagmarita are present also in southern China (GAILLOT et al., submitted; this study).
