Polyptichites is the perisphictacean ammonite genus from the Lower Cretaceous of Russia. The shell is subinvolute and coarsely ribbed; ribs bifurcate or trifurcate mid or low on the flanks and cross over the rounded venter. The umbilicus is relatively small and deep. Outer whorls partially envelop the previous leaving a fairly deeply impressed dorsum.
