Hoploscaphites

Cephalopoda - Ammonoida - Scaphitidae

Taxonomy

Hoploscaphites was named by Nowak (1911) [Sepkoski's age data: K Camp-u K Maes-u Sepkoski's reference number: 2,971,1107].

It was reranked as Scaphites (Hoploscaphites) by Jeletzky (1952), Cobban and Jeletzky (1965), Birkelund (1965).

It was assigned to Scaphites by Jeletzky (1952), Cobban and Jeletzky (1965), Birkelund (1965); to Ammonoidea by Sepkoski (2002); to Scaphitinae by Riccardi (1983), Kennedy and Summesberger (1986), Kennedy and Summesberger (1987), Ward and Kennedy (1993), Landman and Waage (1993), Kennedy and Cobban (1993), Kennedy (1993), Kennedy and Cobban (1994), Arkadiev et al. (2000), Landman and Cobban (2003), Landman et al. (2010); and to Scaphitidae by Machalski et al. (2012).
