Jurassic brachiopods of the circum-Pacific are poorly known. Several northern Pacific species were described from Japan (Tokuyama 1957, 1958a,b, 1959), North-East Russia (Dagys 1968a,b), eastern China (Sun 1983), Thailand (Alméras 1988), Canada (Crickmay 1933; Ager and Westermann 1963), the western United States (Crickmay 1933; Ager 1968; Perry 1979), Mexico (Alencaster and Buitrón, 1965; Alencaster 1977; Cooper 1983; Rivera-Carranco, Hernandez, and Buitrón 1984; Boullier and Michaud 1987), and Borneo (Yanagida and Lau 1978).

Similarly, in the southern Pacific, isolated descriptions and illustrations are known for Indonesia (Boehm 1907–12; Krumbeck 1922, 1923; Wandel 1936; Wanner and Knipscheer 1951; Mancenido 1978), New Zealand (Trechmann 1923; Marwick 1953; Speden and Keyes 1981), and Antarctica (Quilty 1972, 1982), and several for Argentina (e.g., Jaworski 1915, 1925, 1926; Weaver 1931; Feruglio 1934; Wahnish 1942), Chile (e.g., Thiele 1964; Perez 1982; Cooper 1983; Manceñido 1988), and Peru (e.g., Douglas 1921; Steinmann 1929; Willard 1966; Rangel 1978). Additional earlier references for the Andean region can be found in a study by Westermann and Riccardi (1990). Yet most modern studies are concentrated mainly on Argentina (Manceñido 1978, 1981, 1983, 1990; Riccardi et al. 1991) or New Zealand–New Caledonia (MacFarlan 1985, 1990), with many results still to be published.

Though this information does not suffice to elucidate the detailed relationships of brachiopods from different Jurassic marine basins, it is enough to outline the general tendencies of their biogeography.
