Material. 11 specimens from six samples.

Description. Test free, large, planispirally involute coiled, often compressed, subcircular and rounded periphery. Chambers large not well distinct, increasing gradually in size. Sutures limbate in the latest chambers. Wall medium agglutinated. Aperture interiomarginal.

Distribution. Haplophragmoides latissimisuturalis was described from the Oligocene of California ( Smith, 1971), and from the Miocene of the Gulf of Mexico ( Green et al., 2004).
