A new species of Nummulites Lamarck (Nummulitidae, Foraminiferida) from Central Turkey

A new nummulitid species Nummulites sireli n. sp. is described from the middle Lutetian of the Çayraz section, North of Haymana, South of Ankara, Turkey. The new species is referred in to the N. distans group, of which six other species from the Haymana and Çiçekdağ regions of Central Anatolia are identifi ed.
