Since 1980 many papers dealing wholly or partly with the genus Fenestrulina have been published, mainly by Anglo-Saxon and South American authors: e.g. Gordon (1984, 1989), Hayward (1980), Hayward & Ryland (1990), Hayward & Taylor (1984), Moyano (1985). These studies have increased the number of species of the genus known around the world. However, few authors have worked on the genus Fenestrulina in European seas, probably because it was assumed that this taxon was well known in these regions.
