The nine genera here described from the Tethyan and four genera from the American and Caribbean provinces have previously been placed within different families of Foraminifera by various authors, namely, Arnaudiella DOUVILLe, Sirtina BRoNNIMANN and WIRZ, Vanderbeekia BRoNNIMANN and WIRZ, Helicorbitoides MacGILLAVRY, Dizerina MERIc, Sirelella oZGENERDEM and Cideina SIREL were shown in Lepidorbitoitidae VAUGHAN; Postorbitokathina SIREL and Orbitokathina HOTTINGER in Rotaliidae EHRENBERG; Helicolepidina TOBLER, BARKER and GRIMSDALE in Lepidocyclinidae SCHEFFEN, in spite of the fact that all of them have characteristics of both rotaliid early and orbitoidal adult stages. Thus the growth stages such as rotaloid early and orbitoidal adult stages of the aforementioned general correspond with the known family Pseudorbitoididae RUTTEN and its type genus Pseudorbitoides DOUVILLe. Therefore the thirteen genera found in great abundance in the Tethyan, American and Caribbean provinces have been transferred to Pseudorbitoididae RUTTEN.
