Abstract

The taxonomy and taxonomic affinities of the Lenticulina (Astacolus) humilius (Reuss, 1863) “group” in the Lower Cretaceous of north-west Europe are discussed with reference to the naming of a new species in the Lower Aptian in the Isle of Wight. Lenticulina (Astacolus) atherfieldensis sp. nov. is recorded from the type section of the Atherfield “Group” (Lower Aptian) on the Isle of Wight (map ref. SZ 790452) and from Lower Aptian strata in the Paris Basin and the Celtic Sea Basin.
