Neolioceratoides is a genus of ammonites that lived during the Pliensbachian and Toarcian stages of the Early Jurassic.[1] It has been considered to be a synonym of Lioceratoides,[2][3] although cladistic analysis has shown that this genus is not only valid, but they even belong to different subfamilies, as Lioceratoides belongs to Harpoceratinae.[4] Its fossils were found in Europe[1] and northern Africa.[5]
