Abstract
AbstractThe Lower Ordovician (Oeland Series) type species ofLamanskya, L. splendensMoberg & Segerberg 1906, was described originally as an articulate brachiopod, but it is here redescribed and referred to the lingulid Family Elkaniidae.L. splendensranges from the late Tremadoc to the early Arenig in Baltoscandia (Norway, Sweden, Estonia, and the St Petersburg district of Russia).Aulonotreta kuraganicaAndreeva 1972 from the Lower Ordovician of the Ural Mountains is also redescribed and referred toLamanskya. The genusDictyobolusWilliams & Curry 1985, from the Lower Ordovician of Ireland, is a junior synomym ofLamanskya. All species of the genus are strongly biconvex, and have a well-developed ornamentation of elongate lenticular pits. The problematic GenusVolborthiavon Moller 1870 is also considered tentatively to belong within the Elkaniidae.
