Banded and alveolated structure of calcareous wall, manner of parti- tion of chamber, and discovered megalospheric generation for the genus Ptycho- cladia, whose microspheric generation was previously classified with ctenostoma- tous Bryozoa, indicate its belonging with adnate Foraminifera. New varieties P. agellus var. tenuis and var. rotaliformis, and new species P. bassleri from the Penn- sylvanian of Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma are described. Chabakovia Vologdin, a supposed alga from the Middle or Lower Cambrian of southern Urals, is considered related to Ptychocladia and the oldest known foraminifer. Another form from the Lower Permian of Russia is provisionally classified as Chabakovia (?) shulgae, n. sp., and another new species Bdelloidina (?) permica from the Lower Permian of Texas is described. All mentioned forms and the extant genus Bdelloidina are united in a new family Ptychocladiidae. The life-cycle of Ptychocladia, and the evolution and ecol- ogy of the new family are discussed.
