Description Emended diagnosis: Test inflated lenticular to discoid. Proloculus spherical, followed by a tubular, undivided deuteroloculus, first coiled such as a hemigordiin, secondly weakly oscillating, aligned to planispiral, involute to evolute. Terminal whorl, flosculinised in advanced species. Pseudosepta are sporadically present in the last whorl. Neodiscin wall. Aperture at the extremity of deuteroloculus.
Range and distribution: ?Late Midian of Japan. Changhsingian of Japan, late Capitanian-Lopingian of South China, Hazro (Turkey), and Zagros. Neodiscopsis is probably present from the Southern Alps (Austria; Vachard & Krainer unpublished data) to the northern Caucasus (Pronina-Nestell & Nestell 2001), and to the Ladakh Himalaya (Lys et al. 1980). Neodiscopsis irregulariformis is known from Turkey (Zaninetti et al. 1981), Transcaucasia (Kotlyar et al. 1989), Iran (Shahinfar et al. 2020), and South China (Lin et al. 1990).
