Remarks. Engel & Morris (1989) established Weania berricoensis based speciments with a larger pygidium. The species if diagnosed purely on pygidial characters, as only fragments of W. berricoensis cranidia have been found. The pygidia resemble other species of Weania in their broadly semicircular shape and pleural ribs becoming fainter posteriorly. Their size and number of axial rings and pleural ribs separate them from W. goldringi (Campbell & Engel 1963) .
