It should be stressed that, in any future classification, the term septula should (in our opinion) be replaced by the more neutral term partitions because the former are related to the foramina and exclude per definition exoskeletal beams (see Hottinger, 2006), that is dealt with in the genus Novalesia Magniez, 1974 herein. Another possibility would be an inclusion of Novalesia in another order, e.g. Loftusiida Kaminski &amp; Mikhalevich, 2004 where the term internal partitions is used (Kaminski, 2014, p. 101). This order includes morphologically and structurally (e.g., biserial compressed test, vertical and horizontal partitions) comparable taxa such Cuneolina d’Orbigny or Vercorsella Arnaud-Vanneau, 1980 (Loeblich &amp; Tappan, 1987; Kaminski, 2014). Without indicating any taxonomic grouping, Arnaud-Vanneau (1980, p. 516) included the three mentioned genera (and others like Sabaudia Charollais &amp; Brönnimann) and their description into a group of foraminifera exhibiting a test with subdivided chambers (‘tests à structure cloissonaire’) and furthermore into the subgroup with biserial chamber arrangements that might exhibit an initial planispiral stage.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C087C0FFFBFFEE2901F89D36D0FC17	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

L. Cretaceous (U. Aptian to L. Albian) (Loeblich &amp; Tappan, 1987, p. 114).

Cross sections are oval to nearly circular. The subspherical proloculus is followed by an early planispirally coiled stage, about half a whorl, that comprises three to six chambers (e.g., Figs. 3A, G). The winding plane of this spire is arranged perpendicular to the plane of biseriality. The chambers are interconnected by basal (interiomarginal) slit-like foramina. The early planispiral stage is followed by a biserial stage that consists of up to 25 chambers also displaying interio-marginal foramina (Fig. 3B). The biserial chambers gradually increase in width while the height remains more or less constant. The relationship between the relevant parameters, number of chambers in the biserial stage and the total test height exhibits a linear curve regression (Fig. 4). The chambers are subdivided by four to five vertical partitions (or beams) protruding into the lumen without reaching the center (= plane of biseriality). Horizontal partitions (one or two?) may be present in the last ontogenetic adult part of the test. Cross-sections through the adult test part display vertical partitions (usually four per chamber) (Figs. 3 M-O, Q-S). The wall is homogeneous (noncanaliculate), microgranular to finely agglutinated.</p><p>Dimensions: See table 1.</p><p>Remarks: On the one hand, the available biometric data of the Iranian specimens lie within the known range of the original material as recorded by Magniez (1972) but extends this at both the lower and upper end (e.g., test length: Fig. 4). Axial sections, especially of juvenile specimens appear to be simple and undivided, and can therefore be confused with a variety of biserial agglutinated taxa that exhibit an initial planispiral stage such as, for example, representatives of the Spiroplectammininae Cushman, 1927 (e.g., Loeblich &amp; Tappan, 1987).</p><p>Stratigraphy: In the Taft Formation of SW Iran, N. producta occurs in inner platform wackestones-packstones associated with other (larger) benthic foraminifera (Fig. 2). Among the orbitolinids, the species may be associated with praeorbitolinids, mesorbitolinids, Iraqia simplex Henson, Palaeodictyconus actinostoma Arnaud-Vanneau &amp; Schroeder and Dictyoconus? pachymarginalis Schroeder indicating an overall Aptian age. The type-material of Spain is latest Aptian-earliest Albian in age (Magniez, 1972). Arnaud-Vanneau (1980) recorded N. producta from an interval spanning the early Barremian to the early Aptian of southern France and Kirmaci et al. (1996) from the late Aptian of Turkey. A late Aptian age was indicated also by Koch et al. (1998) for occurrences in Slovenia.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C087C0FFF8FFE82991FF39331DFEFC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
