Regional occurrence: At Kopingsklint and Horns Udde only reworked specimens<br />

of this species were found. In section 6 it is confined to member<br />

Kii-d2.·<br />

Biostratigraphic range: Oelandodus costatus was found only in the Protopanderodus<br />

rectus/Oelandodus costatus Assemblage Zone (fig. 15).<br />

Genus Oepikodus LINDSTROM, emend. VAN WAMEL, herein<br />

Type species: Oepikodus smithensis LINDSTROM, 1955.<br />

Remarks: Oepikodus smithensis LINDSTROM is part of a multi-element<br />

species together with Prioniodus evae LINDSTROM and Oistodus longiramis<br />

LINDSTROM. This multi-element species was called Prioniodus evae<br />

LINDSTROM, emend. LINDSTROM, 1971. The type species of the form<br />

genus Prioniodus i.e. Prioniodus elegans PANDER, will appear to be part of a<br />

multi-element assemblage with an element composition fundamentally different<br />

from that of Prioniodus evae LINDSTROM, emend. LINDSTROM. SO<br />

the latter multi-element species has to be placed in another genus: Oepikodus.<br />

For this genus the following redifinition is proposed: Oepikodus is a<br />

multi-element genus with oepikodiform (after Oepikodus LINDSTROM),<br />

prioniodiform (after Prioniodus PANDER) and longiramiform (after Oistodus<br />

longiramis LINDSTROM) elements.<br />

Oepikodus evae (LINDSTROM), emend. VAN WAMEL, herein<br />

(PI. 6, figs. 15-17)<br />

Prioniodus evae LINDSTROM, 1955a, p. 589, PI. 6, figs. 4-10.<br />

Prioniodus evae LINDSTROM, emend. LINDSTROM, 1971, p. 52, figs. 13, 14.<br />

Oepikodus smithensis LINDSTROM, 1955a, p. 570, PI. 5, figs. 36, 37.<br />

Oistodus longiramis LINDSTROM, 1955a, p. 579, PI. 4, figs. 35-37<br />

Remarks: Apart from the change in generic position, no further comments<br />

need to be given to Lindstrom's (1971) adequate description of this multielement<br />

species.<br />

Regional occurrence: At Kopingsklint this species was found from the base<br />

of member Kk3 up to a level at about 0.45 m. above the base of the<br />

Bruddesta Formation. In section 6 from the base of member Kk 3 up to a<br />

level at about 0.75 m. over the base of the Bruddesta Formation. Near Horns<br />

Udde from the upper portion of member Kk 2 up to a level at about 0.65 m.<br />

above the base of the Bruddesta Formation.<br />

Biostratigraphic range: Oepikodus evae was found from the Protopanderodus<br />

rectus/Oepikodus evae Assemblage Zone up to and including part of the<br />

Prioniodus navis/Prioniodus crassulus Assemblage Zone (fig. 15).
