Adrianitinae is a subfamily of the Adrianitidae which is part of the goniatitid superfamily Adrianitaceae. The Adrianitinae which comprise the more advanced genera in the Adrianitidae have sutures that form 14 to 30 lobes. Shells may be discoidal or globular or in between.
Taxonomy.
The Adriantinae which are found widespread in lower and middle Permian marine sediments are derived from "Crimites", a genus in the more primitive Emilitinae subfamily, through "Neocrimites" which gave rise to "Adrianites", "Epadrianites", "Pseudagathiceras"
are included in the Adrianitinae. The remaining two are included, one each, in the Hoffmanniinae and Texoceratinae.
"Dunbarites" and "Clinolobus" included in the Adrianantidae in the older edition of Treatise (Part L) have since then been reassigned; "Dunbarites" to the Schistocerataceae and "Clinolobus" to the Neoicocerataceae
The Emilitinae, established to include the most primitive members of the family, based on "Emilites", have been reincorporated into the Adrianitinae. "Pamiritella" for which the Pamiritellinae was established is
