Recent foraminiferida from the sea shores of Jemen Arab Republic, part 1: The genus Quinqueloculina

Abstract

      More than 100 foraminiferidal species have been recor­ded from four sandy samples collected from different loca­lities along the nearshore zone of the Red Sea, Yemen Arab Republic. Twenty-six species of these belong to the genus Quinqueloculina d’Orbigny, which are discussed here and illustrated. The recorded assemblage is typical of tropical waters.
