Remarks: Test diameter is mostly between 1.6 mm and 2.0 mm (maximum 2.2 mm ), thickness is 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm . The tiny proloculus observed in some forms has a diameter from 0.06 mm to 0.07 mm ( Fig. 6d ). Adult specimens consist of up to 15 planispirally-involute coiled whorls. The original material of Rahaghi was deriving from two localities in the Zagros Zone belonging to the so-called Lopha Limestone Member of the Gurpi Formation and assigned to the upper Campanian ( Wynd, 1965 ; Hashmie et al., 2020). P. hamaouii is intermediate in size between the smaller P. hekimhanensis from the late Campanian?-Maastrichtian of Turkey ( Görmüş, 1999 ) and the larger type-species P. striata from the Maastrichtian of Qatar ( Henson, 1948 ). The specimens from Iran have been observed in the lower part of the Tarbur Formation in bioclastic packstones together with siderolitids, and Omphalocyclus ( Fig. 6a ). In southern Turkey it is recorded as P. hekimhanensis by Solak et al. (2019, fig. 9) from strata assigned to the lower Maastrichtian, namely an “ Orbitoides , Omphalocyclus , Siderolites assemblage zone”.
