Abstract
Larger benthic foraminifera from the upper Maastrichtian Auradu Formation of Somalia exhibit striking matches with the assemblages from the time-equivalent Tarbur Formation of Iran and other, but less well studied lithostratigraphic units in SE Turkey (e.g., Garzan Fm.). Some taxa, among also new ones, described from Somalia need taxonomic updates (revision, synonymy, re-instatement). Dukhania? cherchii Luger is considered a junior synonym of Acordiella? tarburensis Schlagintweit & Rashidi, and Pseudorbitolina schroederi Luger is re-instated and considered a valid taxon, different from the Campanian P. marthae Douvillé of the western Tethyan domain. The genus Cyclopsinella Galloway is reported for the first time from the upper Maastrichtian of Iran.
