Swenzia is an extinct genus of coelacanthid fish from the late Jurassic of France.[1] It contains a single species, S. latimerae, which was originally described as Wenzia latimerae. Because the generic name Wenzia was already preoccupied by a snail, the generic name was amended to Swenzia.[2] It is the fossil genus most closely related to the living coelacanth, Latimeria.[3]
