Pyrgo rasheedi, n. sp. (Foraminifera)

This paper proposes a new species of benthic Foraminifera, Pyrgo rasheedi HATTA, n. sp. which was found in mud facies sediments of the Madang lagoon, Papua New Guinea. This new species includes specimens recorded by RASHEED (1971), HAIG (1988) and LOEBLICH and TAPPAN (1994) as Pyrgo pisum (SCHLUMBERGER)
