Taxonomic remark Cooper (1981) after examining new material as well as type material, concludes that Terebratella enzenspergei is a synonym of Aerothyris kerguelensis (a common species also occurring of Kerguelen Island). The lack of lateral bands to median septum (which were originally reported for this species in error) is consistent with Aerothyris, and the radial striae of enzenspergei were simply result of marginal injuries/abnormalities (not a distinction from kerguelensis). Foster (1974) also queried the placement of this species in Terebratella. [details]

note: Foster (1974) found inconsistencies in the loop or lophophore support structure (lacking lateral connecting bands to the septum as earlier reported), and thus he queried its placement in Terebratella. [details]
