ASSEMBLAGE. — The described Aljutovella assemblage of this study is as follows; Aljutovella aljutovica ( Fig. 11 E-G), Aljutovella arrisionis arrisionis ( Fig. 11H, I ), Aljutovella arrisionis molotovensis ( Fig. 11J ), Aljutovella artificialis ( Fig. 11K, L ), Aljutovella cf. cafirniganica ( Fig. 11M ), Aljutovella conspecta ( Fig. 11N ), Aljutovella cybaea ( Fig. 11O, P ), Aljutovella isvarica ( Fig. 11Q ), Aljutovella lepida novoburasiensis ( Fig. 11R ), Aljutovella pojarkovie ( Fig. 12A, B ), Aljutovella postaljutovica ( Fig. 12C, D ), Aljutovella priscoidea ( Fig. 12 E-G), Aljutovella skelnevatica ( Fig. 12H, I ), Aljutovella splendida ( Fig. 12J, K ), Aljutovella cf. stocklini ( Fig. 12L ), Aljutovella subaljutovica ( Fig. 12M, N ), Aljutovella tumida ( Fig. 12O, P ) and Aljutovella typica Akbaş , n. sp. ( Fig. 12Q, R ). DESCRIPTION Shell moderately large in size and fusiform in shape. The three-layered wall consists of the tectum, lower and upper tectorium, and poorly developed diaphanotheca in the last volutions of some individuals. Septa plain to slightly folded in the central part of the test and folded in polar regions. Chomata massive, commonly symmetrical and quadrate in shape. REMARKS According to Rauzer-Chernousova et al. (1996), some species of the genus Aljutovella could be transferred to new genus such as Skelnevatella Solovieva in Rauzer-Chernousova, Bensh, Vdovenko, Gibshman, Leven, Ya Lipina, Reitlinger, Solovieva & Chediya, 1996 and Priscoidella Solovieva in Rauzer-Chernousova, Bensh, Vdovenko, Gibshman, Leven, Ya Lipina, Reitlinger, Solovieva & Chediya, 1996 without giving any species name except their type species, Profusulinella skelnevatica Putrya & Leontovich, 1948 and Profusulinella priscoidea Rauzer-Chernousova, 1938 respectively. These two species, which were described in the genus Aljutovella in the study of Rauzer-Chernousova et al. (1951), have been accepted by many authors (e.g., Putrya 1956 ; Bensh 1969 ; Grozdilova et al. 1975 ; Bogush & Yuferev 1976 ; Dzhenchuraeva 1979 ; Villa 1995 ; Leven et al. 2006 ; Fohrer et al. 2007 ; Davydov 2009 ; Leven & Gorgij 2011 and this study). One of the recent study of Kulagina (2008) , the species skelnevatica is described under the genus Skelnevatella . The transfer of P. skelnevatica and P. priscoidea species to the new genus ( Skelnevatella and Priscoidella ) proposed by Solovieva (in Rauzer-Chernousova et al. 1996) is doubtful.
