The Late Eocene planktic foraminiferal species Turborotalia semicunialensis Anan was recorded originally from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and later in two localities around the Arabia in the Southern Tethys: India (east of UAE) and Egypt (west of UAE). In this study, it is recorded also from Tanzania (southwest of UAE). The planktic foraminifera is related to open marine environment, photic zone, middle-upper neritic environment (100-200 m water depth) and in the tropical-subtropical provinces (Lat. 45º N- 30º S).
