Note "Taxonomic remark: Savage & Mancenido (2002, p. 1270) in the "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part H, Brachiopoda revised, vol. 4" synonymized genus Wairakiella Waterhouse, 1967 with Pseudowellerella Licharew, 1956. Following re-examination of Licharew's species, Waterhouse (2024) confirmed validity of Wairakiella, noting that Pseudowellerella lacked teeth, and possessed a free-standing cardinal or hinge hinge plate, without median ridge (unlike in Wairakiella), furthermore Pseudowellerella lacked socket crenulations." for taxon Wairakiella Waterhouse, 1967 † has been added by Tristan Verhoeff via the webinterface on 2024-06-12T23:54:04+00:00
