Although she cited the new name and the type species Chonetes capitolinus Toula, 1875, she did not give any accompanying description and therefore the Article 13 of ICZN (1999) is not satisfied; nevertheless, Afanas'eva (1977), who discussed the genus and attributed it to Barkhatova, as did Archbold (1981a).

Etymology. The new name stresses its classification in Brachiopoda, unlike Svalbardia Thor, 1930 , adding the prefix Brachio- to the original name. Feminine gender.
