Three new larger benthic foraminifera, Accordiella? tarburensis n. sp., Spirolina? farsiana n. sp., and Pseudonummoloculina kalatantarii n. sp. are described from the Late Maastrichtian of the Tarbur Formation, Zagros Zone, SW Iran. The rarely observed species Broeckinella arabica Henson, Broeckina cf. dufrenoyi (d´Archiac), Cu-villerinella? sp. and Fleuryana adriatica De Castro, Drobne & Gušić are also reported. All these forms occur in an internal carbonate platform facies (algal-foraminiferal wackestones-packstones) and are associated with numerous other larger benthic foraminifera (e.g., Loftusia, Neobalkhania, Gyroconulina, Omphalocyclus) and dasycladalean green algae.
