Tellina (Eurytellina)
Taxonomy
Eurytellina was named by Fischer (1887) [Sepkoski's age data: T Eo-l R Sepkoski's reference number: 1248]. It is extant.
It was reranked as Tellina (Eurytellina) by Woodring et al. (1924), Pilsbry and Olsson (1941), Gardner (1947), Moore (1976), Woodring (1982) and Moore (2003).
It was assigned to Tellininae by Vokes (1980); to Tellinidae by Todd (2001); to Veneroida by Sepkoski (2002); and to Tellina by Woodring et al. (1924), Pilsbry and Olsson (1941), Gardner (1947), Moore (1976), Woodring (1982) and Moore (2003).
