Family LITUOTUBELLIDAE A. D. Miklukho-Maklay, 1963

Tests streptospirally coiled becoming uncoiled. Complete septa in all whorls. Chambers characteristically teardrop-shaped. Rare supplementary deposits. Wall dark and simple, with rare agglutinated calcareous particles in some representatives. Aperture terminal simple. Late Tournaisian–late Serpukhovian.

Remark: Compared with Vachard & Le Coze (2022) a more concise composition of the family Lituotubellidae is followed similarly to the one in Hance et al. (2011). Bogushella Conil & Lys, 1977 , Cribroaperturata Lipina, 1990 (probable juvenile of Lituotubella ), Eocribrella Lipina, 1989 are synonymized with Lituotubella , whereas Mstiniella Conil & Lys, 1977 is synonymized with Pseudolituotubella .

Composition: Lituotubella Rauzer-Chernousova, 1948 ; Alticonilites Hance, Hou & Vachard, 2011 ;
