New Protopteraspis material from Shropshire is sufficiently similar to Protopteraspis leathensis from the Welsh Borderland, and the type‐species Protopteraspis gosseleti from France, to justify transfering P. leathensis to P. gosseleti . The Anglo‐Welsh, biostratigraphic leathensis Zone is changed to the Protopteraspis Zone ( sensu Blieck and Janvier 1989). Possible lifestyles are discussed for Protopteraspis gosseleti .
