Bergstroemognathus kirki Stait & Druce, 1993: 302–303 , figs. 12H, 16D,F–H,J.

Bergstroemognathus kirki .– Zhen et al., 2001: 201–204, figs. 4.14– 4.20, 8.1?, 8.2–8.22.

Material. Five specimens (1 M, 4 Sc) from limestone nodules within shales of the upper Yandaminta Quartzite, and 26 specimens (4 Pa, 6 Pb, 4 Sa, 8 Sb, 3 Sc, 1 Sd) from the overlying Tabita Formation at Mount Arrowsmith ; seven specimens (2 Pb, 3 Sa, 1 Sb, 1 Sc) from unnamed dolomitic limestone unit at Koonenberry Gap .

Remarks. A septimembrate apparatus of B. kirki has been recognized, based on material from the Horn Valley Siltstone of the Amadeus Basin ( Zhen et al., 2001). The western New South Wales material has the same apparatus composition.
