First Record of Agglutinated Foraminifera from Lombok

Suhartati M. Natsir

Study on the distribution of benthic foraminifera in Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air Lombok Island
was held during November 28th – December 5th, 2008. Agglutinated foraminifera were given special
attention since there have been so few records on the occurrence of this group from Indonesia. The aims of
the study were to have general indication about the type and abundance of agglutinated foraminifera found
in Lombok. From the 4 stations studied in each Gili, 6 species were observed at Gili Trawangan and Gili
Meno, and 7 species in Gili Air. The stations which are located close to the bay normally have more
individuals than ones away from it especially Ammobaculites agglutinans and Haplophragmoides
canariensis.
