Abstract
A new larger benthic foraminifer is described as Braciana jelaskai n. gen., n. sp. from lower Campanian shallow-water foraminiferal wackestones to packstones of the island of BraÄ, Croatia. The Late Cretaceous Braciana is roughly homeomorphic to the Liassic taxa Lituolipora (type-species L. polymorpha GuÅ¡iÄ & VeliÄ) and Paleomayncina Septfontaine (type-species Mayncina termieri Hottinger). The generic differences to these taxa and other allied forms are discussed. Braciana jelaskai was confused with Pseudocyclammina sphaeroidea Gendrot in the literature with occurrences in the Santonian(?) of Slovenia and Greece.
