| Abstract |
Globorotalia menardii neoflexuosa subsp. n. is proposed for Globorotalia menardii flexuosa figured by Be and Mclntyre (1970), (non Pulvinulina tumida var flexuosa Koch, 1923) from the northern Indian Ocean. It is suggested that the name G. tumida flexuosa (Koch) be restricted to the flexuose forms of G. tumida and that the name G. menardii neoflexuosa be limited to the flexuose forms of G. menardii (s.s.).G. tumida flexuosa (Koch) is an extinct sp, making its last appearance during the last interglacial (Zone X), while G. menardii neoflexuosa subsp.n., which became extinct in the Atlantic near the end of the X climatic episode ({approx} 80,000 yr ago), is still a member of the living planktonic fauna in the northern Indian Ocean. |
