Abstract: One hundred and seven calcareous benthic foraminiferal species belong to thirty-five genera from seventeen countries in the Southern Tethys (Chile, Argentina, Tanzania, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia (SA), Yemen, Qatar, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Iraq, Iran, Pakistan) have been studied. The modern taxonomical consideration of the recorded species is used, which were previously noted in the literatures, while two of them are believed here as new: Quinqueloculina tanzanica and Neoflabellina iraqensis. Fifty-seven species of them are recorded from Egypt (~51%), 19 from Pakistan (~17.5%), 15 from UAE (~13.4%), Jordan and Argentina (~0.8%), Chile (~0.3%), Tanzania, SA and Yemen (~0.2%), the others counties one species. Most of the Southern Tethyan recorded species are endemic to their original description, while some of them are also recorded in some Northern Tethyan countries (i. e. France, Poland). Most of the Southern Tethyan assemblage indicates an open marine environment, which represents middle-outer neritic environment (100 m ~ 200 m depth), and shows an affinity with Midway-Type Fauna (MTF), while the littoral zones of the Middle East represent shallow neritic environment.
