Abstract: This study describes and illustrates the seventy three agglutinated benthic foraminiferal species of the Suborder Textulariina across the Bartonian-Priabonian belonging to thirty seven genera from twenty one countries in the Norther Tethys (USA, England, France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Hungaria, Slovenia, Romania, Czech, Italy) and Southern Tethys (Angola, Tanzania, Tunisia, Egypt, Iraq, Qatar, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Pakistan, Japan, New Zealand) have been studied. The modern taxonomical consideration of the species is used. The recorded species were previously noted in different literatures, while eight of them are believed here as new: Bathysiphon usamai, Asanospira franciana, Paratrochamminoides spainica, Verneuilina hungariana, Martinottiella cimermani, Textularia karimae, Cylindroclavulina spainica and Tritaxilina ozsvárti. The foraminiferal assemblage indicates an open marine environment, which represents outer shelf-lower bathyal depths of deposition. The current activity not only transported allochthonous taxa, but also brought in refractory organic matter to the seafloor, which were in turn affected by sedimentary and, ultimately, by climatic factors. Most of the recorded species are distributed not only in neighboring localities, but also far from it.
