This study deals with taxonomic consideration of one new genus: Ornatodella Anan (2023) from Pakistan, and also thirteen benthic and two planktic foraminiferal species were erected from two countries in the Southern Tethys: Pakistan and India. The recorded foraminiferal species belong to thirteen benthic genera and two planktic genera (one from Pakistan and the other from India). Fifteen species of the recorded assemblage are from Pakistan (⁓94%), while only one species from India (⁓6%). One of the recorded species belongs to Suborder Textulariina, 2 to Miliolina, 1 to Lagenina, 12 to Rotaliina, while 2 species to Globigerinina. Some of the recorded species present an evolutionary foraminiferal lineages.
