Anolcites is a genus of extinct ammonoid cephalopods from the Middle Triassic belonging to the ceratitid family Trachyceratidae.

Specifically Anolcites is a middle Triassic trachyceriatid with no distinct ventral furrow and ribs that cross the venter. The shell is basically evolute and highly ornamented with close spaced flexious, or sigmoidal, ribbing. The whorl section is compressed with straight sides and strongly arched venter.

Anolcites has been found in British Columbia, China, India, and Italy.

Paratirolites is a genus of Early Triassic ceratites from Armenia and Iran with distinct ribs, prominent ventro-lateral tubercles, and a broadly arched venter. The suture is ceratitic with a large ventral saddle. Ceratites are ammonoid cephalopods that lived during the Late Permian and Triassic.

Aplococeratidae is a family of ceratitids from the Middle Triassic with very simplified sutures and a tendency to lose their ornamentation. Shells are generally evolute, more or less compressed, with rounded venters. Ornamentation if present consists of umbilical ribs that disappear outwardly, toward the venter. The suture is ceratitic or goniatitic.
