Abstract
Fifty-three smaller benthic foraminiferal species belonging to thirty-three genera are recorded from Quaternary benthic foraminiferal species of Brazilian Equatorial Margin (Core ANP 1011). Twenty-two of the assemblage are illustrated and believed here as new: Massilina brazilica Anan, n. sp., Quinqueloculina brazilica, Miliolinella brazilica, Pyrgo brazilensis, Pyrgo brazilica , Triloculina brazilica, Triloculinella brazilica, Nodosaria brazilica, Amphicoryna brazilica, Lagena brazilica, Pygmaeoseistron brazilica, Lagenosolenia brazilica , Bolivina brazilica, Bolivinita brazilica, Cassidulina brazilica, Cassidulinoides brazilica, Globocassidulina brazilica, Globobulimina brazilica, Neouvigerina brazilica, Uvigerinita brazilensis, Valvulineria brazilica and Cibicidoides brazilica Anan, n. sp . A comparative correlation between the south Equator of Brazilian and south Equator of Tanzanian taxa is presented.
