Extract

During recent years, there has been an increase in the number of papers that include taxonomical descriptions of brachiopods belonging to the order Athyridida. In these papers, the authors do not use the same spelling while referring to suprageneric taxa (e.g., Dagys, 1974; Grunt, 1989; Cooper and Dutro, 1982; Brunton, 1984; Modzalevskaya, 1985; Wang Yu and Rong Jia-yu, 1986; Carter, 1988; Alvarez, 1990) and commonly names or adjectives such as 〈athyroids〉, 〈athyridoids〉, 〈athyridids〉, 〈athyrids〉, 〈athyridaceans〉, 〈athyrididaceans〉 etc. vary considerably.
