Type species. Spiriferina davidsoni Deslongchamps, 1855 ( OD) .

Dispiriferina was proposed by Siblík (1965) to include multicostate spiriferinides with costae in the fold and sulcus. As well as the type species, he suggested that S. collenoti Deslongchamps, 1884 , S. deslongchampsi Davidson, 1852 and S. segregata Di Stefano, 1886 were related to the new genus. Rousselle (1977) figured Dispiriferina davidsoni and D.? oxyptera Buvignier, 1843 from the Early Jurassic of the Middle Atlas of Morocco. Alméras & Cougnon (2013) reviewed the genus and included all the species listed by Siblík and Rousselle. The genus is recorded from France and Slovakia, ( Siblík 1965), Morocco ( Rousselle 1977) and Spain ( Comas-Rengifo et al. 2006), Italy (Taddei Ruggiero & V̂r̂s 1987) and Turkey (V̂r̂s & Kandemir 2011). World distribution is shown in Fig. 6 .

Carter et al. (1994) revised the classification of the spiriferinide brachiopods and placed Dispiriferina in the new subfamily Dispiriferininae . This classification was followed by Carter (2006).
