Codiopsis libanicus de Loriol, 1901, p. 27

Distribution Cenomanian, Upper Cretaceous, Lebanon
Classification and/or Status Codiopsis sp. indet.
Remarks This is based on a 5 mm juvenile and it is too incompletely known to be compared with other species.  Fourtau (1921) recorded this species from the Aptian of Egypt, based on slightly larger specimens, but again that material is too poorly known to assign to subgenus.
