Abstract
This study deals with taxonomic consideration of three new genera: Vaginulinoides Anan1 and Vaginulinella Anan 1 from Chile, and Bolivinoidesella Anan 2 from Pacific Ocean. Moreover, sixty one benthic foraminiferal species were erected by the present author from five localities in North, Central and South America (United States of America (USA), Mexico, Caribbean, Argentina and Chile) and some localities in Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Nine species of the assemblage belong to Suborder Textulariina (⁓15%), 1 to Spirillinina (⁓1.5%), 2 to Miliolina (⁓3%), 25 to Lagenina (⁓41%) and 24 to Rotaliina (⁓39.5%). One of the recorded species is believed here to be new: Vaginulinoides raoofi Anan. Some of the recorded species present evolutionary foraminiferal lineages.
