Coleia is an extinct genus of decapods in the group Polychelida that lived from the Late Triassic to the Late Jurassic.[1] It was described by Broderip in 1835, and the type species is C. antiqua. A new species, C. martinlutheri, which existed during the Sinemurian of what is now Germany, was described by Günter Schweigert and Werner Ernst in 2012.[2]
