Porównanie

The Frasnian-style suture and the subtrapezoidal cross section of the whorl make this specimen similar to the holotype of Linguatornoceras linguum. Conchs of the Famennian species are attributed to the genus  , however, different from the Łagów specimen in having a very narrow flank lobe of the suture and rounded margins of the umbilicus. In the latter aspect, the specimen discussed resembles the stratigraphically older species attributed here to Gundolficeras korni (Becker, 1993) and Protornoceras simplicius, being different in the subtrapezoidal whorl section and deep flank lobe of the suture. Specimens from sample Ł-14 tentatively attributed to the latter species may also belong here, as well as the specimen from the Upper Łagów Beds illustrated by Sobolew (1914) as Tornoceras escoti Frech, 1902. The species seems both morphologically and stratigraphically transitional between P. sandbergeri and P. planum.
