This species has long been a subject of contention as to its lineage, but Dietze (2014), following the chronospecies/genus concept, has managed to prove to the satisfaction of most that it belongs to the subfamily of the Leioceratinae. Rieber (1963) had placed it in the subfamily Staufeniinae and had named it Staufenia opalinoides, a name which most collectors and paleontologists adopted, since his work was the most comprehensive one on the ammonite fauna of the area for many years. This almost complete specimen has most of its shell intact. The band of variation of ribbing and other sculptural factors is relatively broad, but this here is a typical sample.

There are 7 Ancolioceras opalinoides ammonites on this block, the largest having a diameter of 9cm. and the smallest one of 2cm. Found in the upper Aalenian murchisonae Zone in the Wutach Valley.-

9cm. The shell is weathered in such a way that the sutures are good to observe. This appears to be a form between Staufenia and Ludwigia, but it has more of the former about it than the latter. Found in the Staufensis Bank, upper Aalenian in the Wutach valley. These were assigned to the genus Staufenia by Rieber in 1963, but Dietze, Rieber etal have revised the genera in December 2014 to the above.-

11cm. Murchisonae Zone, Upper Aalenian, Middle Jurassic. Wutach Valley. This one has almost completely lost its shell revealing the calcified mold showing the suture lines of the phragmacon. These were assigned to the genus Staufenia by Rieber in 1963, but Dietze, Rieber etal have revised the genera in December 2014 to the above.-
