Type Species. Spirifer walcotti J. de C. Sowerby, 1823 SD Dall, 1877, p. 64.
Spiriferina is used here for strongly ribbed spiriferinides with a narrow V-shaped sulcus and fold, which are close to the type species, Spiriferina walcotti, and to S. muensteri (Davidson 1851). The alternative view is that the type species should be the unribbed Terebratulites rostratus von Schlotheim 1822, which means that the non-costate Liospiriferina Rousselle, 1977 is an objective synonym of Spiriferina. The issue is summarised by Baeza-Carratalá et al. (2016), who follow the revised Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (Carter 2006) in retaining S. walcotti as type species, and this is followed here.
In this sense, Spiriferina is known from the Jurassic of Britain (Sowerby 1823, MacKinnon 1974, Ager 1994), Western Europe (Alméras & Cougnon 2013), Austria (Siblík 1999) Bulgaria (Tchoumatchenko 1996), Algeria (Alméras et al. 2007), Morocco (Rousselle 1977), Greenland (Rosenkrantz 1934) and Argentina (Manceñido 1981, Damborenea & Manceñido 1992). Spiriferina retziaeformis Wanner & Knipscheer 1951 from the Early Jurassic of the Indonesian island of Seram is small and strongly costate with a high beak on the ventral valve. It also appears to belong to Spiriferina as understood here. World distribution of Spiriferina and of other Jurassic spiriferinide genera recognised from Zealandia is shown in Fig. 6.
Two Zealandian species are included in Spiriferina, one of moderately large size and one small.
