Classification Peel (1975) classified the genus in the subfamily Temnodiscinae (family Sinuitidae). The genus Temnodiscus is presently attributed to Tropidodiscidae, which is why the genus Pharetrolites is transferred there. Ebbestad et al. (2022) did not discuss the classification but followed Peel (1975). [details]
