Zusammenfassung:Genus Strophodus has been considered as a junior synonym of genus Asteracanthus for a long time. Th e discovery of an articulated skeleton of Asteracanthus ornatissimus resurrected the genus Strophodus, which is recommended to include all species previously referred to Asteracanthus, except for those described by isolated dorsal fi n spines. Th is stands for Strophodus dunaii comb. nov. as well, which was established for isolated tooth remains. A new tooth and casts of several previously unknown teeth referable to this species are described here in detail. Notes on future tooth wear pattern analyses in Strophodus spp. are also discussed. With 19 fi gures.
