Subgenus Loxoplocus (Donaldiella) Cossmann, 1903
Type species: Loxoplocus (Donaldiella) filosa ( Donald, 1902) ; the Late Ordovician , Scotland .
Remarks.— Loxoplocus (Donaldiella) is distinguished by its distinctly turriculate spire, whilst the similar L. ( Lophospira ) Whitfield, 1886 has a relatively lower turbiniform shell. The shell of L. ( Loxoplocus ) differs from both L. ( Lophospira ) and L. (Donaldiella) by its disjunct whorls. Species of L. (Donaldiella) are singled out on the basis of its relative spire height, apertural shape, and depth of the notch.
