Remarks.

Felixaraea rennensis was only illustrated but not described by Alloiteau (1952, 1957). Illustrations alone do not constitute a valid first description of a species. Beauvais (1982) was the first to describe and illustrate the species.

Other occurrences.

Coniacian to Santonian of the Central Tethys (Austria), upper Santonian to middle Campanian of the Western Tethys (France, Spain).
