" Saffordoceras " is probably derived from " Actinoceras ".

Discoclymenia has a subglobular to discoidal shell with a small, closed umbilicus, like " Sporadoceras " but with additional adventitious lobes in the 1st lateral saddles . " Discoclymenia " and " Sporadoceras " are included in the subfamily Sporadoceratinae of Miller and Furnish ( 1964 ) along with " Praeglyphioceras " according to Miller et at ( 1964 ) . " Discoclymenia " comes from the Upper Devonian of Europe and North Africa.
