Remarks The detailed description of Solak (2022) is fully adequate. The term pseudoumbilicus used by Solak (2022) is herein replaced by central siphon or open (hollow) columella. Beside the occurrences in the Central Taurides, Turkey and southeastern France, we suggest that Siphopfenderina geyikensis is also present in the upper Aptian of Sardinia, Italy ( Cherchi, 1979:? Valvulammina sp. ), and perhaps also in the Aptian of northern Spain and central Iran (see the following remarks on Siphopfenderina sp. aff. geyikensis )
