Lualabaea is an extinct genus of prehistoric freshwater coelacanth, belonging to the family Mawsoniidae, from the Jurassic period. ^[1] It contains two species, L. lericheiSaint-Seine, 1955 and L. henryiSaint-Seine, 1955, both known from the (formerly considered Middle Jurassic, but more recently Kimmeridgian-aged) ^{[2] [3]} Stanleyville Formation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. ^{[4] [5] [6]} It may be related to or possibly synonymous with Axelrodichthys . ^[7]
