Original Description
Pylodiscida with a simple, spherical or lenticular, central chamber, surrounded by three simple arm-chambers. Notches between the three arms open.
The genus Triolena is the most simple form of all Pylodiscida, and must be regarded as their common ancestral form, from an ontogenetic as well as a phylogenetic point of view. The small shell is composed of a simple, spherical or lenticular, latticed, central chamber, and: of three simple, surrounding equal arms, which are also simple latticed chambers, lie in the equatorial plane, and are separated by three equal angles or open gates.
Etymology: Greek triolena = shell with three arms"
