Lobocoenia

Orbigny, 1849, p. 6

Lobocoenia Orbigny, 1849, p. 6 is a nomen oblitum (available and invalid).

The genus was not used since d’Orbigny 1850. The syntypes of the type species L. obeliscus are lost. Cottreau (1932) could not revise it and placed another species L. corallina in the genus Stylina . Beauvais (1964) placed the third and last species described by d’Orbigny (1850) L. sublevis in the genus Pseudocoenia. For all these reasons we prefer to leave this genus into oblivion.
