Özet
One new foraminiferal genus, Rectoformata gen. nov., with two new species, has been described from a Permian limestone block in the Karakaya Complex in the South of the Balya district (Balikesir, northwestern Turkey). The type species of Rectoformata, Rectoformata tekini sp. nov., is characterized by a quadrangular transverse section having a calcareous microgranular wall with fine alveolar structures, whereas Rectoformata acari sp. nov. is recognized by a pentagonal transverse section having a calcareous microgranular wall with fine alveolar structures. The age of the described taxa is assigned as Midian ( = Capitanian) based on the association with small foraminifers and fusulinids. These new taxa are included in the family Chitralinidae, which is emended herein. © 2007 Académie des sciences.
