Taxonomic remark generic assignment doubtful; “Stensioeina” surrentina according Consorti et al. (2017) that state: Torre described, using mostly isolated matrix-free specimens from the Upper Cretaceous of the Sorrento Peninsula, a rotaloidean foraminifera characterized by “dorsally keeled, possessing spikes and probably with a large intraseptal interlocular space (defined as double septa)”, but details on the canal system and the umbilical architecture are missing in the original description. This new rotaloidean has been attributed by Torre to the genus Stensioeina Brotzen, and erected as S. surrentina. The re-study of the specimens figured by Torre and our samples from Central Italy and Cava Vitigliano reveal the presence of folia, foliar piles umbilical plate and intraseptal interlocular space in S. surrentina. These elements are typical of the representatives of the Rotaliidae family (probably Lockhartiinae subfamily) but not of Stensioeina [details]
