Abstract

The type species of the genera Echinospirifer Ljaschenko, 1973 Komispirifer Ljaschenko, 1973 and Mennespirifer Ljaschenko, 1973 were revised based on material from the memorial collection of A.I. Ljaschenko. Mennespirifer is recognized as a junior synonym of the genus Komispirifer; the genera Echinospirifer and Komispirifer differ in fine ornament and the structure of the shell wall.
