Let $${\mathfrak{M}_g}$$ be the moduli space of smooth, integral curves of genus g over the complex field $${\mathbb{C}}$$ and denote by $${\overline{W}_{d,g} \subseteq\mathfrak{M}_g}$$ the Weierstrass space of type (d, g), i.e. the closure of the locus of points representing d-gonal with exactly one total ramification point, the other ramification points being simple. The locus $${\overline{W}_{d,g}}$$ is always irreducible and it is rational for d = 2, 3, 4. We prove here the rationality of $${\overline{W}_{5,g}}$$ for g ≡ 16 (mod 20).
