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 smithensis LINDSTROM, 1955a, p. 570, PI. 5, figs. 36, 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).
