Brachiopods are represented in the Devonian fauna of the Fitzroy Basin by at least 46 species, three of which come from the upper Middle Devonian, and the rest from the Upper Devonian. These species (32 new, 11 indeterminate, 3 previously described) represent 38 genera (5 new, 7 indeterminate) which are distributed among the brachiopod superfamilies as follows:- 1 orthacean 9 dalmanellaceans 1 pentameracean 4 strophomenaceans 2 orthotetaceans 6 productaceans 1 chonetacean 9 rhynchonellaceans 4 atrypaceans 4 smooth spiriferaceans 2 rostrospiraceans 3 terebratulaceans. The new genera are Teichertina (family OnnieIlidae), Zophostrophia (Stropheodontidae), Fitzroyella (Camarotoechiidae), Nyege (Coelospiridae) and Ladjia (Spiriferidae). The only members of the brachiopod fauna not dealt with are the inarticulates and the ribbed spiriferaceans.
