A new species of agglutinated encrusting Foraminifera, Rhabdammina voigti n. sp., is described based upon the test morphology, primarily the number of tubes and the proloculus size. R. voigti n. sp. generally occurs attached on molluscs, brachiopods and echinoderm tests. The area of distribution includes continental shelves of the temperate climate zone. Fossils of R. voigti n. sp. have been recovered from the Upper Turonian to Upper Campanian of the “Münsterländer Kreidemulde” and the Lower Maastrichtian to Upper Maastrichtian of the “Norddeutsche Senke”, North Germany. Recent material has been collected from Aegina, Greece. All recently known species of the genus are typical deep sea forms. In contrast, the new species R. voigti n. sp. inhabited shallow marine waters in the North Sea Basin during the Upper Cretaceous, and in the Aegean Sea at present. Probably R. voigti n. sp. occupied the same habitats during the Cenozoic, but is unrecorded up to now or migrated into deep sea after the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary for a long time.
