| Comments | Type by monotypy. Comments: Introduced p. 61 in a discussion in German (...was observed Triceratium spinosum Bailey in the Petersburger Lager which might belong to a special genus which is differenciated from Triceratium as Denticella is differenciated from Biddulphia, but has 4 instead of 2 bristles on the side, and therefore could be called Tetrachaeta). Also appears in a list of new genera, as "Tetrachaeta conferatur introitus" p. 74. No binomials are formed with genus name Tetrachaeta in this paper, the species Triceratium spinosum Bailey, however, is included. SVL does not list any species under this genus name. Perhaps some useful information could be obtained from Bailey 1844 (ref. 000118) or Bailey 1845 (ref. 001591). |
