Large Benthic Foraminifera Pfendericonus Globulus Sirel & Deceviler In Sirel Et Al., 2020 (Priabonian Of Turkey): A Junior Synonym Of Pfendericonus Mindanaoensis Matsumaru, 2017 (Thanetian? Of The Philippine Archipelago) Author Schlagintweit, Felix Lerchenauerstr. 167, 80935 München, Germany felix.schlagintweit@gmx.de text Acta Palaeontologica Romaniae 2022 2021-10-04 18 1 49 50 journal article 10.35463/j.apr.2022.01.05 1842-371x 10520878 Pfendericonus mindanaoensis Matsumaru 2017 Fig. 1 a-b This species was described by Matsumaru (2017) from the Island of Mindanao , Philippine Archipelago and two specimens were figured. The two illustrated specimens of Chrysalidina sp. ( Matsumaru, 2017 , pl. 4, figs. 10-11) are here also considered to belong to P. mindanaoensis . The description includes a low-conical test (almost globular; diameter up to 1.36 mm ) displaying wedge-like chambers and a test diameter up to 1.36 mm . The age was indicated as Selandian (= “Tertiary a0 stage of larger foraminifera” senus Matsumaru). Comparing the assemblage of this stage which includes species such as Broeckinella arabica Henson (=? Vania anatolica Sirel & Gündüz), Coskinon rajkae Hottinger & Drobne , Idalina sinjarica Grimsdale (Assemblage 2 in Matsumaru, 2017 ), a Thanetian age is more likely (e.g., Pignatti et al., 2008 ; Di Carlo et al., 2010 ).
