Porównanie

Most probably, N. spirorbis (Phillips, 1836) and N. germanicum (Schmidt, 1925) are conspecific with N. vittiger; also Fayettevillea paprothae Kullmann, 1990, based on juvenile specimens from a level in the late Asbian, is a synonym of N. vittiger;  Nomismoceras rotiforme (Phillips, 1836) based on a well preserved immature specimen  does not differ from typical N. vittiger.
