Genus Foumtizia Noubhani and Cappetta, 1997 Type species: Foumtizia abdouni Noubhani and Cappetta, 1997 .
Remark.—The genus includes small scyliorhinids with teeth having sharp crowns, well−developed pointed cusplets and holaulacorhize root replaced lingually. The lower part of the crown on the labial face is bulged, covered by enameloid folds and overhangs the root; the folds do not run up on the cup in the most specimens. The root has a well developed nutritive groove. In the palaeontological record there are some Foumtizia species in the Danian–Thanetian: F. pattersoni ( Cappetta, 1976) from the Ypresian of the England; F. abdouni Noubhani and Cappetta, 1997 from the Thanetian of Morocco; F. gadaensis Noubhani and Cappetta, 1997 and F. arba Noubhani and Cappetta, 1997 , both from the Danian of Morocco. This is the first record of the genus in the Priabonian and in the West−Siberian Basin.
