REMARKS
Terebratulina reevei
was already reported from the
Fiji
region (
Bitner 2006b
). This species is characterized by its coarsely ribbed ornamentation (
Cooper 1973a
;
Laurin 1997
). The anterior commissure is from uniplicate to rectimarginate. The loop forms a broad ring slightly folded anteriorly.
Terebratulina reevei
differs from
T. japonica
in being smaller and in having less numerous granulated ribs. It can be also easily distinguished from
T. australis
that has rounded outline, numerous fine ribs and small pedicle opening.
