Forty planktic foraminiferal species were erected from ten localities in the Southern Tethys: Tunisia, Egypt, Angola, Tanzania, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Iran, Pakistan and India. Sixteen of the identified species were erected from Egypt, while 4 from each of Kuwait and India, 3 from UAE, 2 from each of Tunisia, Angola and Pakistan. Some of the recorded species were recorded also from many countries in the Northern and Southern Tethys: i.e. Austria, Denmark, Spain, Australia, New Zealand and USA. Three out of the identified species are believed here to be new: Morozovella arabica, Morozovella hafitensis and Clavigerinella pakistanica. The phylogenetic relationships of some of the recorded species are also presented. The high abundance of pelagic planktic foraminiferal assemblage indicate an open marine environment connection to the Tethys which predominantly mainly related to photic zone.
