Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. F. Ponder 1984Species in this group have tall-spired, smooth shells with a prosocline outer lip. Fischer also includes T. microstoma (Piette, 1855 nom. nud.) Fischer, 1969. There is little in the shell characters of Thierachella indicative of its relationships although they may be with the Rissoidae or, possibly, Barleeidae.
