Abstract

We present a review of the current taxonomical status of the genus Paratrochamminoides Soliman, 1972. We recognise five main subgroups of this genus based upon the following modes of coiling: trochospiral, streptospiral, glomospiral, triloculine or milioline, and thalmannamminiform. Species that display streptospiral coiling and an interiomarginal aperture are placed in the genus Conglophragmium Bermúdez & Rivero, 1963, whereas the genus Paratrochamminoides is here understood to encompass all other coiling modes. The morphological characters of 23 named and unnamed species that we recognise as belonging to Paratrochamminoides and Conglophragmium are presented in tabular form. Of these, 22 are considered here to be valid species. Emended descriptions are provided for both genera, and diagnoses are given for each of the species.
