The species Simplorbitolina moulladei described by Saint-Marc, 1974 from the middle Albian of Lebanon is taxonomically revised and assigned to the genus Cribellopsis Arnaud-Vanneau, 1980. Both, Paracoskinolina prestati Delmas & Peybernès, 1981 (middle-upper Albian of Somalia) and Cribellopsis arnaudae Chiocchini, 1989 (Albian of Italy) are considered as subjective junior synonyms. Cribellopsis moulladei is regarded a taxon restricted to the southern (here: "African") Neotethysian margin. All other representatives of the genus Cribellopsis were reported from the northern Neotethysian margin.
