Nomenclature Authorship of Ivara and Odostomia (Ivara) terricula have been attributed to Dall & Bartsch [in Arnold], 1903, Arnold wrote: “Specimen identified by Dr. Dall; but the species omitted from the text prepared by Dall & Bartsch”. One must conclude that the published description was authored by Arnold, so both genus and species must be credited to him.
Palmer (1958: 250) wrote "The name was a manuscript one of Carpenter, and it was misspelled as terricula. Dall and Bartsch (1909) pointed out the typographical error, so the writer [Palmer] assumes that the corrected form might be authenticated. However, Dall (1921, p. 130) apparently decided that the original misspelling should stand for the specific name he so wrote it. Dall was followed by Oldroyd (1927, p. 173), Burch (1946, no. 61, p. 39), and Abbott (1954, p. 290). Keen (1937, p. 43) and Smith and Gordon (1948, p. 194) used "turricula". Such a dual usage is not a healthy condition in the taxonomy of the species, for error of interpretation and listing of two different species could easily creep into records. The most practical and least involved method of solving the problem is to return to the original spelling of the specific name. This has published sanction of one of the original authors." [details]
