From editor or global species database
Taxonomy In the most restricted sense, the genus Tellina comprises a small number of Western Atlantic species related to the type Tellina radiata. Otherwise the generic name is widely used as a catchall for a large number of species belonging to the subfamily Tellininae and distributed worldwide, which are in need of taxonomic revision.
