Original Description
The genus Paratympanum and the following nearly allied Lithotympanum form together the small subfamily of Paratympanida, distinguished from the other Tympanida by the fenestration of the two parallel horizontal rings. These rings in Lithotympanum are both equal, whilst in Paratympanum the basal ring is larger than the mitral ring; therefore the connecting rods or columellae are in the former parallel and vertical, in the latter divergent and descending. Two opposite ones of these columellae are parts of the primary sagittal ring, two others are parts of the lateral or frontal ring, whilst the remainder are afterwards intercalated. Paratympanum may be derived from Dystympanium by fenestration of the basal ring.
