Abstract: The present study deals with the modern taxonomical consideration of the Neogene smaller Rotaliid benthic foraminiferal species of Uvigerina from Eastern Niger Delta Nigeria, west Africa, central Atlantic Ocean which represent good example of the Southern Tethyan assemblage. This assemblage indicates an open marine environment, which represents outer neritic-Bathyal environment(~200-2000m). The wide paleogeographic distribution of this assemblage in different localities in the Northern and Southern Tethys: USA, Mexico, Caribbean, Peru, Venezuela, Brazil, Spain, France, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Hungaria, Italy, Ivorian Basin, Angola, Libya, Egypt, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Pakistan, New Zealand. indicate that the ancestral Tethys is connected with the ancestral Atlantic with Indian-Pacific, via Mediterranean Sea.
