Diagnosis
Species of Stroborineceras gen. nov. with depressed, rounded-triangular whorl profile (ww/wh ~1.50), venter strongly flattened, ventrolateral shoulder subangular with sharp longitudinal ridges. Whorls not embracing. Ornament with fine spiral ridges in the submarginal ventral position; five or six spiral ridges are located on the flank.
Etymology
Named after the town of In Salah in the central Sahara Desert.

Description
Holotype MB.C.30445.1 is a whorl fragment of about 90 degrees angular length, consisting of the last chambers of the phragmocone and part of the body chamber ( Fig. 6B View Fig ). The maximum whorl height is 11 mm. The whorl profile is rounded-triangular and depressed (ww/wh = 1.51) with a flattened venter and an almost semi-circular area encompassing the flanks and dorsum ( Fig. 7A View Fig ); the ventrolateral shoulder is subangular. The specimen bears at least eight longitudinal lines, two of which are on the edge of the venter and six on the flank. The suture line shows a broad, almost semi-circular external lobe, a tightly rounded ventrolateral saddle and a shallow and very broad lateral lobe. On the dorsum the suture line shows an almost straight course ( Fig. 7E View Fig ).
The paratypes illustrate that the variation is quite low; all specimens show very similar whorl profiles, ornament and suture line. Compared to the holotype, the paratype MB.C.30445.2 ( Fig. 6A View Fig ) has more strongly developed spiral lines on the flanks and the paratypes MB.C.30445.3 ( Fig. 6C View Fig ) and MB.C.30446.1 ( Fig. 6D View Fig ) show slightly more distinct submarginal ridges on the venter.
Remarks
Stroborineceras insalahensis gen. et sp. nov. differs from S. felis gen. et sp. nov. by the more depressed whorl profile (ww/wh = 1.55 in S. insalahensis gen. et sp. nov. but only 1.25 in S. felis gen. et sp. nov.), by the flattened or weakly convex venter (concave in S. felis gen. et sp. nov.) and by the considerably stronger spiral lines (weakly developed and absent on the venter in S. felis gen. et sp. nov.).
