Dolerorthis is an extinct genus of hesperorthid brachiopod. [2] The type species of this genus, D. interplicata, was described from the Silurian (Telychian) Osgood Formation (Indiana, United States). [2] Other species belonging to this genus are known from the Ordovician and Silurian of Europe, [3] [2] [4] Kazakhstan, [5] China [6] and Argentina. [7] It was roughly 4 centimetres (1.6 in) across.
