Abstract: This study describes a new Eocene Rotaliid genus Buliminelloides from Alano section, NE Italy. It is characterized by an elongate subcylindrical triserial perforate calcareous test, chambers regularly triserial throughout, while the final chambers may loosely arrange, surface finely ornamented with wrinkles, which the last-formed chambers often mainly smooth, aperture rounded up the face from the base of the last chamber. The foraminiferal new genus indicates an open marine environment which represents middle bathyal depth (600–1000 m). The new genus Buliminelloides differs mainly from the other Buliminid genera by wrinkled rugose ornamented surface than smooth test.
