Katsura Oyama published several papers on the Terebras; the most accessible
is in Venus (1961 : vol. 21 (2) : 176-189). I saw him give a talk on the
family some years back, in which he divided them into genera based on the
anatomy of the foregut and mouth. He raised dozens of genera for the
Terebridae during his career, including Brevimyurella, Cinguloterebra,
Clathroterebra, Decorihastula, Granuliterebra, Hastulopsis, Laeviacus and
Pristiterebra. Anyone for whom Bratcher and Cernohorsky is not complicated
enough should investigate Oyama's work. Personally, I prefer B&C.
