== Distribution == ''Wagnerispina'' is found across Europe in lower carboniferous deposits and has been collected for example from Viséan deposits of SW England and the Czech republic.

== Taxonomy == Identified as proetid trilobite from the lower Visean (Chadian substage) Coddon Hill formation by Woodward 1902.
