Abstract
The new subfamily Redmondininae is characterized by coarsely perforated and strikingly thick chamber walls, a reduced umbilical filling but with a canal system that tends to extend onto the dorsal side of the shell. This group encompasses four genera (Redmondina, Slovenites n. gen., Rotaliconus, Pachyrotalia n. gen.). Seven species (R. henningtoni, R. garganica n. sp., S. praecursorius n. sp., S. pembaphis n. sp., S. decastroi n. sp., R. arachosiae n. sp., P. massa n. sp.), are described and illustrated.
