Abstract
A small-sized orbitolinid was originally reported as Coskinolinoides cf. texanus Keijzer from Cenomanian carbonates of western Greece in the early seventies, later described as the new species Paracoskinolina fleuryi Decrouez and Moullade. However, its internal test structure does not fit the characteristics of the genus Paracoskinolina Moullade emend. Arnaud-Vanneau. The original generic assignment is re-instated herein, but its more complex marginal zone does not allow for assignment to Coskinolinoides texanus described from the middle–upper Albian of Texas. Coskinolinoides fleuryi (Decrouez and Moullade) comb. nov., becoming the second nominal species of the genus, shows an unusual broad and dispersed distribution (Senegal, Tunisia, Spain, Greece, Philippines) with stratigraphic records encompassing the latest Aptian?–Albian to early Cenomanian interval. Despite the present contribution, the genus Paracoskinolina still contains additional species that need taxonomic revision.
期刊介绍:
La Revue de micropaléontologie publie 4 fois par an des articles de intérêt international, consacrés à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie. Les textes, en anglais ou en français, sont des articles originaux, des résultats de recherche, des synthèses et mises au point, des comptes rendus de réunions scientifiques et des analyses de ouvrages. La revue se veut résolument ouverte à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie en accueillant des travaux traitant de la systématique des microfossiles (et de leurs équivalents actuels), des bactéries aux microrestes de vertébrés, et de toutes leurs applications en sciences biologiques et géologiques.
