Three names are available for two species of spiriferids with multi-ribbed valve flanks in the Berriedale Limestone in Tasmania. The valid names for the species are now considered to be Trigonotreta stokesi Koenig, 1825 and "Spirifer” tasmaniensis Morris, 1845; the other available name, Grantonia hobartensis, 1953, is a synonym of Trigonotreta stokesi. Grantonia Brown, 1953 (type species, Grantonia hobartensis) is therefore a synonym of Trigonotreta Koenig, 1825 (type species, Trigonotreta stokesi).
