Alegret, Ortiz & Kaminski (eds.), 2012. Ninth International Workshop on Agglutinated Foraminifera, Abstract Volume The new and reinstated genera of agglutinated foraminifera published between 2008 and 2012 Michael A. KAMINSKI Earth Sciences Department, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, PO Box 301, Dhahran, 31261, Saudi Arabia. e-mail: kaminski@kfupm.edu.sa The Agglutinated Foraminifera comprise a large and polyphyletic group of organisms that have developed an organic walled or agglutinated test. Recent molecular studies have pointed out that the Textularida (sensu Loeblich & Tappan, 1987) does not comprise a natural group of organisms – the ability to construct an agglutinated wall probably arose independently within different foraminiferal lineages. The validity of the Loeblich & Tappan classification or any other scheme based on morphological criteria alone has been brought into question by the results of both morphological comparissons and molecular studies (Pawlowski et al., 2003; Mikhalevich, 2004). Nevertheless, a classification scheme of the agglutinated foraminifera that includes all the known modern and fossil genera is a desirable goal that ought to be pursued. In the latest update of the Loeblich & Tappan (1987) classification scheme a total of 747 genera were recognized as valid (Kaminski, 2004). With the inclusion of the allogromids and Xenophyophoracea into the classification scheme and another decade of descriptive work, the number of agglutinated genera recognized as valid has now risen to 847. In the four years since the last Workshop on Agglutinated Foraminifera a total of 23 new genera have been described, including: ALZONORBITOPSELLA BouDagher-Fadel, 2008 BOWSERIA Sinniger, Lecroq, Majewski, & Pawłowski, 2008 CONICOTHEKA Gooday, Todo, Uematsu & Kitazato, 2008 EOBIGENERINA Cetean, Setoyama, Kaminski, Neagu, Bubík, Filipescu & Tyszka, 2008 GOODAYIA Sergeeva & Anikeeva, 2008 RECTOPROTOMARSSONELLA Kaminski, Bubík & Cetean, 2008 CUNEOSPIRELLA Cherchi, Schroeder & Ruberti, 2009 GERACIA Lewis, 2009 LEPTAMMINA Cedhagen, Gooday & Pawłowski, 2009 NIVEUS Altin, Habura & Goldstein, 2009 PLECTOERATIDUS Kaminski, Setoyama & Tyszka, 2009 SHINKAIYA Lecroq, Gooday, Tsuchiya, & Pawłowski, 2009 CAPSAMMINA Gooday, da Silva, Koho, & Lecroq, 2010 CARTERIELLA Haig & McCartain, 2010 CEDHAGENIA Gooday, Anikeeva & Pawłowski, 2010 NELLYA Gooday, Anikeeva & Pawłowski, 2010 XIPHOPHAGA Goldstein, Habura, Richardson & Bowser, 2010 AMMOGLOBOROTALOIDES Kaminski & Contreras, 2011 BITHEKAMMINA Aranda de Silva, Gooday, Pearse & Cunha, 2011 DUBROVNIKELLA Schlagintweit & Velić, 2011 45
