What's in a name? Revision of Peneroplis turonicus Said and Kenawy, 1957 (benthic foraminifera), an inappropriately-named taxon from the Cenomanian of the southern Neotethys margin

Peneroplis turonicus Said and Kenawy is a poorly known benthic foraminifer that was originally described based on isolated specimens from the Upper Cretaceous of Egypt. Specimens Cenomanian Sarvak Formation Iran indicate presence finely agglutinated test wall displaying pseudo-keriothecal texture, therefore, excluding this taxon porcelaneous Miliolida, namely family Peneroplidae. Based morphology, structure foraminal features, species herein tentatively assigned to Neodubrovnikella Schlagintweit Rashidi (order Loftusiida), with new combination turonica (Said Kenawy). A critical literature review leads conclusion N. represents southern Neotethys marker reported so far Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Kosovo, Greece, Lebanon, Syria, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Iran. Therefore, does not represent Maastrichtian genus as previously assumed but old Cenomanian, disappeared fossil record in proximity Cenomanian-Turonian boundary reappeared after considerable gap ghost range.
