Slack-Smith —nine complete specimens (WAM Z59471); Kimberley, Broome, stn SO1/84/120, 17°59’S, 118°11’E to 18°01’S, 118°08’E, 530–560 m, 24 February 1984, coll. S.M. Slack-Smith — ten complete specimens (WAM Z59472). Depth range. 432–560 m. Measurements. Length 16.9 mm, width 14.6 mm, thickness 7.0 mm. Remarks. With 26 specimens Terebratulina photina is relatively common in the material examined. Its nearly smooth surface with only fine radial lines distinguishes this species from other Terebratulina species. The beak is pointed with distinct beak ridges and an oval, small foramen. Similar to T. callinome, T. photina is recorded for the first time from Australia and this finding extends its geographic range to the south, previously known from Japan, the South China Sea to the Philippines and Borneo (Hatai 1940; Jackson & Stiasny 1937; Cooper 1973b; Logan 2007; Zezina 2010; Bitner & Romanin 2018).
