The new orbitolinid foraminifer, Praeorbitolina claveli n.sp., is described from the Lower Ap- tian (Bedoulian) of Central Iran. It is characterized by an eccentric embryonic apparatus displaying both a subdivided subembryonic zone and a deuteroconch. The Barremian-Aptian orbitolinid association of this area has a typical northern Tethyan character (e.g., "association a Valserina" of CHERCHI and SCHROEDER, 1973).
