Several species of the genera Morphoceras Douvillé, 1880 and Ebrayiceras Buckman, 1920 are described from the Dalichai Formation of eastern Alborz Mountains (northeast Iran), including one new species, M. kelarizis. The fauna comes from a few meters of red nodular limestones and marls in "Ammonitico Rosso" facies. It represents a typical Northwest-Tethyan fauna, closely related to Central Europe (Subboreal / Submediterranean provinces).
