Material.—Four shells (2 of them slightly damaged), 4 dorsal and 4 ventral valves. The present material was recovered from the Khudykivtsi Beds at Dnistrove at 5.5 m (beds 47–48) above the S–D boundary.
Remarks.—The studied specimens from Dnistrove, although rather scarce, are externally indistinguishable from specimens illustrated by Kozłowski (1929), Nikiforova (1954), and Nikiforova et al. (1985). The only difference is generally smaller shell size (not exceeding 8 mm in length) attained by the specimens reported here. In this respect they are similar to Dalejina staszici Kozłowski, 1929 , but the latter has a thicker shell with a more pentagonal outline resulting from narrower hinge margin. D. staszici is a rare and stratigraphically older species, occurring only in the Skala Horizon.
According to Nikiforova et al. (1985) D. frequens is abundant in and restricted to the Mytkiv Beds (upper part of the Borshchiv Horizon). The present material, although not numerous, indicates that the species also occurs in the Khudykivtsi Beds.
Stratigraphic and geographic range.— Kozłowski (1929) found the species to range through the Borshchiv Horizon of Podolia. Nikiforova et al. (1985) reported it only from the Mytkiv Beds. Similar form described as D. aff. frequens was reported by Savage (1974: 19–20; pl. 3: 18–32; fig. 8A, B) from the lower Devonian of New South Wales ( Australia).
