Genus GLADIGONDOLELLA Müller, 1962

1968 Dichodella Mosher , p. 923

Type species. Polygnathus tethydis Huckriede, 1958, p. 157 –158, pl. 2, fig. 38a–b.

Type stratum and locality. Trachyceras austriacum bed (Julian), Feuerkogel near Röthelstein, Austria.

Remarks. Tis genus was first introduced by Müller (1962) for a Middle Triassic carminiplanate P 1 element with a relatively short posterior process and corresponding keel posteriorly of the pit, a narrow platform and a low carina. As the type species may have been significantly different from some Spathian forms, the phylogenetic relationships of Gladigondolella are uncertain but the rootstock might lie within the evolution from Borinella (Orchard, 2007) .
