Abstract
A new species of Reophax is documented from the shallow marine settings offshore Brunei Darussalam. The new taxon differs from other recent species of Reophax by its selective agglutination consisting mainly of tests of megalospheric specimens of Amphistegina. Reophax bruneiensis n.sp. differs from other known species in having a selectively agglutinated wall, few numbers of chambers increasing rapidly in size, and a terminal aperture not supported by any neck. This new species possibly acts as detritivore within the bottom sediments characterized by differentiated calcareous bioclasts and clay-sized siliciclasts derived by the river supply.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Micropalaeontology (JM) is an established international journal covering all aspects of microfossils and their application to both applied studies and basic research. In particular we welcome submissions relating to microfossils and their application to palaeoceanography, palaeoclimatology, palaeobiology, evolution, taxonomy, environmental change and molecular phylogeny. Owned by The Micropalaeontological Society, the scope of the journal is broad, demonstrating the application of microfossils to solving broad geoscience issues.
