This study describes a new Eocene Lagenid genus Marginulinoides from the Eocene of many localities in the Northern and Southern Tethys. The test close coiled has early stage test, later elongate uncoiled uniserial and rectilinear, 3-5 chambers semiglobular, periphery rounded, surface ornamented by heavily spinose, aperture terminal with neck, may be shifted slightly to the dorsal angle. This new genus differs from the other related genera (e. g. Marginulina, Marginuliopsis, Percultazonaria, Percultalina) by its heavily hispid to spinose ornamented surface.
