Granorotalia sublobata Benedetti, Di Carlo & Pignatti, 2011 is studied in detail regarding the biostratigraphic range and systematic paleontology. Its biostratigraphic range extends from Cuisian to early Lutetian with the associated fauna in Memlik area, Central Anatolia and some former studies from Spain, Italy, Slovakia and Israel. In addition, the boundary between early and middle Lutetian (SBZ 13/14) is determined by reinterpreting data formerly obtained from Gölbayırı section. Also the close resemblance to Neorotalia alicantina Colom, 1954 in early Lutetian is discussed regarding the specific and generic characteristics.
