Neodiscinae Lin 1984

Subfamily Neodiscinae Lin, 1984 Original description Neodiscidae medium - to large-sized, undivided or with weak pseudosepta, involute or with a short evolute terminal stage of coiling, and devoid of flosculinisation. Remarks In the original description, the genus Praeneodiscus is tentatively included in the family Neodiscidae by Vachard et al. (2015). After the acceptance of the original taxonomic position of Praeneodiscus under the family Neodiscidae by Vachard (2018), it was later transferred to the subfamily Cornuspirinae Schultze, 1854 nom. translat. Rhumbler 1904 within the family? Cornuspiridae Schultze, 1854 by Krainer et al. (2019). Recently, the genus Praeneodiscus was placed tentatively in the subfamily Hemigordiinae Reitlinger in Vdovenko et al., 1993 (nomen translat. Pronina 1994 pro family) of the family Hemigordiidae Reitlinger in Vdovenko et al. (1993) by Vachard & Krainer (2022). In this study, even the taxonomic status of the genus Praeneodiscus is still controversial, it is concluded that it should be included in the subfamily Neodiscinae due to its test shape, coiling type and devoid of flosculinisation.
