Taxonomic remark Originally in Xiphosura. From Lamsdell, 2020: Elleria Raymond, 1944, comprising the single species Elleria morani (Eller, 1938a), is known from a single incomplete specimen interpreted as a partial thoracetron. The specimen comes from the Upper Devonian of the marine Venango Formation and so could be important as one of the few Devonian xiphosurans known; however, the ring-like morphology of the axial region, complete with axial nodes, and the curvature of the tergite boundaries are not comparable to any known xiphosuran. Instead, Elleria morani most likely represents a damaged trilobite pygidium, and as such it is here removed from Xiphosura [details]
