Ambilobeia is an extinct genus of prawn which existed in Ambilobé, Madagascar during the Olenekian stage of the Early Triassic period. [1] It contains the species Ambilobeia karojoi. [2]
The holotype, MSNM 125459, was discovered by an unknown French palaeontologist in a deforested outcrop near Bobasatrana, Madagascar during the late 20th century and was donated to the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano before 2002 by Mr. Karojo, a local Malagasy prospector. [2]
The species Ambilobeia karojoi was named and described in 2002 by Alessandro Garassino and Giovanni Pasini, [2] and many other specimens have been discovered since its naming in 2002. [1]
Ambilobeia grew up to roughly 8 centimetres (3.1 in) long. [2]
