Lochmanolenellus is an extinct genus of trilobites, fossil marine arthropods, with one small species, L. mexicana. It lived during the Botomian stage (Olenellus-zone), 522–513 million years ago, in the South-West of the former continent of Laurentia, in what are today Mexico, and the South-Western United States.[1]
