Abstract: Macrodon hohmanni Knod, 1908 Original source Knod (1908): 530, pl. 25 figs 8–9a; originally as “ Hohmanni ”. Type stratum and age Devonian (no further information given). Type locality “ Yura. 80 km O. von Huanchaca ” [Yura, 80 km east of Huanchaca]; Potosí Department, Bolivia. Type material Syntypes (coll. no. 512, 513) are stored in the type cabinet of the collection of the Geologisches Institut of the University Freiburg (Knod 1908: 494). Remarks Knod (1908) himself doubted the systematic position. Cossmann (1909: 21) stated that “it is probably neither a Parallelodon nor a Beushausenia ” (translated from French). The name was not found in literature after that. Placement uncertain (Amler & Friedel 2025); potentially a leptodesmatid (JCF pers. obs.).
