Hibolithes is a genus of belemnite that lived from the Middle Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous, and has been found in Antarctica,[1][2] Greenland,[3] Iran,[4] Europe,[5][6] South America, and New Zealand. In 2020, this genus was found in the Pedawan Formation (Tithonian – Hauterivian) in Sarawak, on the island of Borneo (Malaysia).[7]

Species and sexual dimorphism

At least two Hibolithes species, H. conradi and H. semisulcatus, represented in Jurassic (Oxfordian and Tithonian) and possibly Early Cretaceous (Late Berriasian) zones of Hungary.[5]

H. shimanskyi, H. orlovi and H. ivanovi from Upper Callovian-Lower Oxfordian of Bryansk Oblast and Saratov Oblast of European Russia, were described in 1976 by Gustomesov. In 2006, Ippolitov assigned H. shimanskyi as a synonym to H. girardoti due to sexual dimorphism within this species. Ippolitov also assigned H. orlovi and H. ivanovi as synonyms to H. sangensis for the same reason.[6]
