Genus Laubierinia Richer de Forges & Ng, 2009 View in CoL

Laubierinia Richer de Forges & Ng, 2009a: 14 View in CoL View Cited Treatment [type species: Rochinia carinata Griffin & Tranter, 1986 View in CoL , original designation by Richer de Forges & Ng (2009a)].

Remarks. Laubierinia currently includes two species, L. carinata (Griffin & Tranter, 1986) (type species), and L. nodosa ( Rathbun, 1916) . Laubierinia is morphologically close to the IWP Rochinia but differs by a more rounded carapace (versus pyriform carapace in Rochinia ), short and flattened pseudorostral spines (versus long, slender and more cylindrical pseudorostral spines in Rochinia ), and the presence of large distinct granules on the hepatic and branchial regions (versus with hepatic and branchial spines in Rochinia ) (see Richer de Forges & Ng 2009a).
