Abstract
A revised classification is presented for the Foraminiferida. The total 591 suprageneric taxa used for the Order Foraminiferida include 12 suborders, 63 superfamilies, 253 families and 263 subfamilies. New Taxa proposed are the suborder Robertinina the families ABADEHELLIDAE, BOLIVINOIDIDAE, BRONNIMANNIIDAE, COLEITIDAE, DRYORHIZOPSIDAE, DUSENBURYINIDAE, EARLANDINITIDAE, EOCRISTELLARIIDAE, GLOBANOMALINIDAE, GLOBULIGERINIDAE, GLOBOROTALITIDAE, HIPPOCREPINELLIDAE, HOSPITELLIDAE, HYPERAMMINOIDIDAE, LINDERINIDAE, LITUOTUBIDAE, ORIDORSALIDAE, PACHYPHLOIIDAE, PALAEOSPIROPLECTAMMINIDAE, PANNELLAINIDAE, PARATIKHINELLIDAE, PARTISANIIDAE, POLYSACCAMMINIDAE PRAEBULIMINIDAE, THOMASINELLIDAE, VALVULINELLIDAE and VIRGULINELLIDAE and the subfamilies AMMOASTUTINAE ASHBROOKIINAE, BYKOVIELLINAE, CUNEATINAE, CYCLOPSINELLINAE ENDOSTAFFELLINAE, EOHASTIGERINELLINAE, HALYPHYSEMINAE, HERGOTTELLINAE KOSKINOBIGENERININAE, LINGULINOPSINAE, LOUISETTITINAE, NOVALESIINAE, ORTHOPLECTINAE, PALMERINELLINAE, PERNERININAE, PLANCTOSTOMATINAE, SHEPHEARDELLINAE, SIPHOGENERININAE, SIPHONINOIDINAE, TEXTULARIOIDINAE and TORRESININAE. Family group taxa that are changed in rank (new status) herein are the superfamilies ACERVULINACEA, COSCINOPHRAGMATACEA, CYCLOLINAXEA, GEINITZINACEA, GLABRATELLACEA, HYPERAMMINACEA, PTYCHOCLADIACEA, ROBULOIDACEA, SIPHONINACEA and SQUAMULINACEA, the families ALFREDINIDAE, BATHYSIPHONIDAE, CYCLOLINIDAE, DICTYOPSELLIDAE, DISCAMMINIDAE, DISCORBINELLIDAE, DOROTHIIDAE, ELHASAELLIDAE, GLOBIGERINITIDAE, ORBITOPSELLIDAE, PULLENIATINIDAE REUSSELLIDAE ROBULOIDIDAE AND STAINFORTHIIDAE and the subfamilies PLACENTULININAE and SEMITEXTULARIINAE. Brief definitions are given for all recognized suprageneric taxa within the Foraminiferida. The synonymy listed for these suprageneric taxa includes only those taxa based on included genera. An index to recognized suprageneric taxa is included.
