Type species: Pterinea modiolaris Conrad, 1838 ; original designation. The exact type locality is uncertain, as the museum label (Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History) accompanying the holotype gives the locality as “from Pulanski beds [Late Ordovician], Rome, N.Y. State”. This deviates from the description given by Conrad (1838).
