The larger benthic foraminifera Cretaciclavulina gusici n. gen., n. sp. is described from the lower Campanian Pucišca Formation of the Island of Brac, Croatia. With its elongate test, trochospiral to uniserial coiling, simple chambers, paraporous wall structure, and areal aperture provided with a cribrate apertural plate, Cretaciclavulina is tentatively placed into the family Valvulinidae BERTHELIN, 1880. Besides Neobalkhania bignoti CHERCHI, RADOICIC & SCHROEDER, 1991, Fleuryana adriatica DE CASTRO, DROBNE & GUŠIC, 1994, and Reticulinella fleuryi CVETKO, GUŠIC & SCHROEDER, 1997, Cretaciclavulina gusici represents the fourth benthic foraminifera newly described from the Upper Cretaceous shallow-water carbonates of Brac Island.
