| + | The Elphidiidae represent one of the most abundant and diversified foraminiferal family in shallow water habitats worldwide. Playing crucial roles in diverse ecosystems, they occur since the Eocene to present and are widely used for paleoenvironmental reconstructions. However, the lack of a clear taxonomic consensus led to a vast confusion concerning the relation of Elphidiidae with other rotaliids, in particular Nonionidae (''Haynesina'') and Rotaliidae (''Ammonia''). Moreover, high morphological plasticity of the test prevented the establishment of a clear definition for many species and genera of this family. Here, 66 new sequences of the SSU rRNA gene were obtained and used to build an extensive dataset including 94 complete or partial sequences of the SSU rDNA of 17 different morphospecies of ''Elphidiidae'', ''Haynesina'' and ''Ammonia''. ...... | ||
