Lualabaea is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater coelacanth, belonging to the family Mawsoniidae, from the Jurassic period.[1][2] It contains a single species,[2] L. lerichei Saint-Seine, 1955 (=L. henryi Saint-Seine, 1955), known from the Kimmeridgian-aged (formerly considered Middle Jurassic)[3][4] Stanleyville Formation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[5][6][7] It may be related to or possibly synonymous with Axelrodichthys.[8]
