Warneticaris is a genus of extinct large phyllocarid crustaceans. It is known from very incomplete material from the Telychian of the Fentou Formation in Wuhan, China and Lochkov Formation in Europe,[1][2] consisting of multiple incomplete telsons and a tail piece measuring around 2 cm in length. In Europe, W. cornwallisensis has been found in the Czech Republic which is originally called as Ceratiocaris cornwallisensis.[3] Largest specimen of W. cornwallisensis is estimated to have telson length of 30 centimetres (0.98 ft).[4]
