Description Description: Test medium in size, subcylindrical fusiform, with slightly convex lateral slopes and bluntly rounded poles. Proloculus spherical, small to medium in size. No juvenarium but first whorls more tightly coiled. Coiling close and uniform. Septal folding more developed in lateral zones, absent in the central zones. Chomata small and asymmetrical. Tunnel with a more or less regular path. Axial filling faint or absent. Fine keriotheca.
Occurrence: Upper Asselian in Turkey (Kobayashi & Altıner, 2008). Lower Sakmarian in the Urals (Grozdilova & Lebedeva, 1961); Hermegorian–Bolorian (= Sakmarian– Kungurian in the Paleotethys (Davydov et al., 2013 and this study)); South China (Chen, 1934; Zhou, 1998); Japan (Nogami, 1961; Choi, 1973); Vietnam (Saurin, 1954); Malaysia (Vachard, 1990b); NE Thailand (Igo et al., 1993); Sumatra (Vachard, 1989); North China (Han, 1975); Tarim (Zhao et al., 1984); Pamir (Leven, 1967); Darvaz (Miklukho-Maklay, 1949; Leven & Shcherbov ich, 1980; Leven, 1998b); Afghanistan (Leven et al., 1997); Iran (Kahler, 1976; Lys et al., 1978; Leven & Vaziri, 2004); Turkey (Leven, 1995; Leven & Okay, 1996; Okuyucu, 1999); Hungary (Bérczi- Makk & Kochansky-Devidé, 1981); Croatia (Kochansky- Devidé, 1955, 1964, 1970; Ramovš & Kochansky-Devidé, 1965; Kochansky-Devidé & Ramovš, 1966); Sicily (Carcione et al., 2004). In the Carnic Alps: Forni Avoltri (Kahler & Kahler, 1980; Kahler, 1989). Currently unknown in the Americas; however, some forms are relatively similar to Alpites, such as Pseudofusulinoides pusillus and P. aff. changi sensu Vachard et al., 2000c in Guatemala and “Schwagerina” tintensis Roberts in Newell et al., 1953, in Peru.
