Paragastropoda, Tergomya and Gastropoda (Mollusca) from the Upper Ordovician Dalby Limestone, Sweden

A fauna of 12 species of paragastropods, tergomyans and gastropods is described from the Upper Ordovician (Kukruse Stage to Idavare substage) Dalby Limestone of Tvären, Lockne, and Fjäcka (Sweden), presenting a higher diversity than previously recognized. The presence of Mimospira, Laeogyra, Sarkanella epelys n. sp. indicates a strong faunal connection with Bohemia, Czech Republic. Sarkanella is reported from outside Bohemia for the first time. Bucania erratica n. sp. represents one of the earliest records of the genus in Baltoscandia. A single case of shell repair from failed predation is recorded in this species. Synonyms for Eccyliopterus princeps Remelé and E. regularis Remelé are proposed. The significance of Laeogyra, Eccyliopterus, and Deaechospira for regional correlation within the Upper Ordovician of Baltoscandia is confirmed.
