Abstract
This new subfamily is characterised by bilamellar-perforate, heavily ornate shells which have a low trochospiral arrangement of the chambers. The intraseptal canal system produces orifices on both sides of the test and may develop in an enveloping canal system forming a supplemental skeleton of considerable thickness. Eleven species of the genus Daviesina (D. fleuriausi, D. labaneae, D. khatiyahi, D. danieli, D. langhami, D. intermedia, D. salsa, D. praegarumnensis n. sp., D. garumnensis, D. tenuis, D. ruida) are described and illustrated.
