Fardenia Lamont, 1935

Remarks.—The type species is from the Ashgill of Girvan, Scotland. The chief difference between Coolinia and Fardenia lies in the large chilidium present in the former and lacking in the latter. Fardenia oblectator Baarli, 1995 , from the Lower Llandovery Solvik Formation of the Oslo region ( Baarli 1995: 51), can be attributed to the genus. “ Fardenia ” flabellata was described by Beznosova (1985) from the Wenlock of north−east Timan, but the illustrations of the species in Beznosova (1994: pl. 1: 3, 4) do not show the distinguishing features, and we treat the species here as a nomen dubium.
