Sphenolithus pseudoheteromorphus sp. nov., first recorded as S. pseudoheteromorphus in sediments recovered during ODP Leg 115 in the western equatorial Indian Ocean, is here formally described and illustrated. Its palaeogeographical distribution is reported, encompassing the Ontong Java Plateau (western equatorial Pacific, ODP Leg 130) and the Ceara Rise (western equatorial Atlantic, ODP Leg 154). It is found at the same stratigraphic level in all three locations, and thus could be useful for interregional biostratigraphic correlation.
Taxonomic note: Sphenolithus pseudoheretomorphus, a new Miocene calcareous nannofossil species from the equatorial Indian Ocean.

Abstract
Sphenolithus pseudoheteromorphus sp. nov., first recorded as S. pseudoheteromorphus in sediments recovered during ODP Leg 115 in the western equatorial Indian Ocean, is here formally described and illustrated. Its palaeogeographical distribution is reported, encompassing the Ontong Java Plateau (western equatorial Pacific, ODP Leg 130) and the Ceara Rise (western equatorial Atlantic, ODP Leg 154). It is found at the same stratigraphic level in all three locations, and thus could be useful for interregional biostratigraphic correlation.File in questo prodotto:
