Abstract
This study deals with taxonomic consideration of four new genera: Amphicorynella Anan1 and Marginulinoides Anan2 from Romania, Lenticubella Anan 3 from Poland, and Buliminelloides Anan4 from Italy. Sixty-one benthic and two planktic foraminiferal species were erected from many European countries in the Northern Tethys: Spain, France, Poland, Germany, Russia, Romania, Hungaria and Italy. The recorded foraminiferal species belong to forty-three genera. Seventeen species are recorded from each of France and Spain (⁓28%), 12 species from Romania (⁓19%), 6 species from Hungaria and Italy (⁓9%), 4 species from Poland (⁓6%), and only one species from each of Germany and Russia (⁓1.5%). Twenty-three of the recorded species belong to Suborder Rotaliina, 19 to Lagenina, 18 to Textulariina, 2 to Globigerinina, and one only to Miliolina. Four of the recorded species are believed here to be new: Marginulinoides romanica, M. hungarica, Hyalinonetrion romanica and Bolivina hungarica. Some of the recorded species present an evolutionary foraminiferal lineage.
