Species
List of species within Spitidiscus:[3]
- Spitidiscus hugii[citation needed]

Description
Member species have a rather evolute shell in which the whorl section is more or less circular, venter broadly rounded and dorsum fairly deeply impressed. Close, fine low, single or rarely branching ribs are interspersed by frequent straight or slightly sinuous, moderately deep but wide constrictions. The type species S. rotulia is from the Hauterivian of England.[citation needed]
Biostratigraphic significance
The first appearance of the species Spitidiscus hugii or Spitidiscus vandeckii are proposed to be the marker for the beginning of the Barremian.[4]
