The modern taxonomical consideration is used for the studied fifty two small porcelaneous benthic foraminiferal species of the Suborder Miliolina throughout the Bartonian-Priabonian belonging to nine genera from seventeen countries in the Norther Tethys (USA, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Hungaria, Slovenia, Turkey) and Southern Tethys (Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Libya, Egypt, UAE, Pakistan, India). Two of the recorded species are treated here as new: Massilina saidi Anan, n. sp. and Quinqueloculina alaghai Anan, n. sp. Some of the recorded species are distributed outerside its original description in neighbor localities or even far from it, but others are endemic to their original description. The recorded foraminiferal assemblage indicates an open marine environment, and represents favor warm, marginal to deep sheltered environments.
