Type species. Weania goldringi Campbell & Engel, 1963 .

Diagnosis. See Hahn et al. (1989b: 149).

Remarks. This genus is very similar to Belgibole Hahn 1963 and as such, Hahn et al. (1989b) have reassigned Weania species to the latter genus. Weania differs in having occipital lobes. Engel & Morris (1989) and Hahn et al. (1989b) have provided emended diagnoses of the genus –we follow the latter.

Species included. Weania anglica (Osmólska 1970) , Weania brewi Hahn & Hahn 1992 , Weania goldringi (Campbell & Engel 1963) , Weania librovitchi (Weber 1937) , Weania neso (Fey 1985) , Weania persistens Hahn et al. 1989 b, Weania superba (Mitchell 1918) , Weania zarecznyi (Jarosz 1913)

Age and distribution. Tournaisian to Westphalian in Australia, Central Asia, China and Europe (Hahn et al. 1989b, Engel & Morris 1989).
