Abstract. Pseudolituonella mariae Gendrot from the Santonian of southern France represents the only post-Cenomanian Upper Cretaceous species of the genus. The test morphology, inner and wall structure however are not in conformity with the characteristic features of Pseudolituonella Marie. P. mariae is taxonomically revised and transferred to the genus Gerochella Neagu thereby becoming the second species of the genus besides the lowermost Cretaceous Romanian type-species G. cylindrica. Other specimens of Gerochella described in open nomenclature from the late Maastrichtian of SW Iran show that the genus was widely distributed in Cretaceous shallow-water carbonates.

Abstract. Moncharmontia De Castro (type-species M. apenninica) and Fleuryana De Castro et al. (type-species F. adriatica) represent two exclusively Upper Cretaceous genera of relatively small-sized benthic foraminifera with similar morphology and wall structure but distinguished primarily by the type of the aperture/foramina (multiple cribrate versus a single, central, arched slit piercing the septum). Solakiana gen. nov. (type-species Fleuryana gediki Solak et al.) differs from both taxa by its type of aperture, represented by a basal slit bordered at the base by the external wall of the previous whorl. Apertural/foraminal lips or septal plates are present in all three genera. The canaliculate wall-structure, well preserved in Moncharmontia and Fleuryana but poorly preserved in Solakiana, refer them tentatively to the family Charentiidae Loeblich & Tappan. The three genera are widely reported from neritic carbonates spanning the Cenomanian-Maastrichtian interval, each with different stratigraphic ranges. The group became extinct at the K-Pg boundary.
