Genus Terebratulina d'Orbigny, 1847

[Type species = Anomia retusa Linné, 1758 (p. 587)]

Small to large, ovate to subpentagonal, slightly auriculate, valves biconvex; anterior commissure rectimarginate to uniplicate; surface costellate, costellae may be enlarged or granular, with prominent nodules in young; umbo suberect, foramen incomplete, mesothyrid to permesothyrid, deltidial plates disjunct. Pedicle collar present, median septum and hinge plates absent; cardinal process small; socket ridges and crural bases fused, forming prominent ridge, hinge teeth without swollen bases, but with sulcus on inner face; crura converging, crural processes united to form ringlike loop, transverse band ventrally arched.

Foster (1989, p. 284) stated that “the differences among the species of Terebratulina are in great need of further study on a worldwide level.” As Lüter & Sieben (2005) emphasized, this revision was never done until today.

Foster, 1974 Diagnose from description of Araya & Bitner (2018) modified - Shell with lateral commissure nearly straight, forming an angle around 120° with the anterior edge of the beak; anterior commissure rectimarginate. Beak short, rounded, suberect, foramen slightly attrite, large, circular, permesothyrid with minute, rudimentary disjunct deltidial plates. Pedicle wide and short, distally divided into rootlets. Shell surface of both valves covered with numerous ribs of rounded-triangular section with intercalated intermediate ribs up to fourth order. Some additional ribs bifurcate towards anterior edge; about 100 fine ribs present at edge of ventral valve, giving border a minute crenulation. Uneven, fine commarginal growth lines cross radial ribs. Ventral valve with a sub-circular (or sub-elliptical) convexity in lateral view, but with a clearly regular parabolic outline in posterior or anterior views; valve interior with small hook-like teeth, pedicle collar short. Muscle scars not evident in examined specimen. Crura long and thin. Loop broken, with only wide, flattened dorso-ventrally descending branches. Dorsal valve slightly convex in lateral view.
