An attempt is made to reconstruct the evolution of idoceratids (Perisphinctidae) during the Oxfordian. The subgenus Nebrodites (Passendorferia) is supposed to be the ancestor of N. (Mesosimoceras), whilst N. (Enayites) subgen. n. - of N. (Nebrodites) and possibly of Idoceras planula group. Both genera appear to be of European origin. Differentiation of Mediterranean and Submediterranean perisphinctidae appears questionable.
Middle Oxfordian forms resembling Lithacoceras Hyatt, 1900, are placed in Subdiscosphinctes Malinowska, 1972. The type species of the latter, Perisphinctes kreutzi Siem., does not represent immature macroconch but rather microconch. Therefore, Subdiscosphinctes (Subdiscosphinctes) Malinowska is interpreted as subgenus comprising microconchs only, and a new subgenus, (Aureimontanites) nov. is proposed for macroconchs.
