We present a new species of Miscellanea from a Selandian clast of the Mt. Vrachionas succession conglomerate (Zakynthos, Greece; Dermitzakis, 1978). This species occurs also in various coeval deposits from central and southern Italy: Mattinata (Gargano), Rio Arno (Gran Sasso), Conca di Cittareale (Rieti). The new species is a potential additional marker of SBZ 2 (Shallow Benthic Zones sensu Serra-Kiel et al., 1998), and represents a noteworthy occurrence in the frame of the biotic recovery after the K/T event, as well as the co-occurring larger foraminiferal assemblages. The investigated specimens come from a conglomerate cropping out along the Romiri/Macherado-Agalas road, near the village of Kiliomeno, Zakynthos, Ionian Islands, Greece (37°44.603' N 20°47.795' E). The age of the assemblage is Selandian, SBZ 2 sensu Serra-Kiel et al. (1998). Miscellanea n. sp. occurs with Haddonia praeheissigi Samuel, Köhler & Borza, 1977, Haymanella paleocenica Sirel, 1998, Kayseriella decastroi Sirel, 1998, Globoflarina sphaeroidea (Fleury, 1982), Pseudocuvillierina sireli (Inan, 1988) and Helenalveolina cf. rahaghii nom. nud. in Drobne et al. (2005). (Excerpt from text.)

Abstract
We present a new species of Miscellanea from a Selandian clast of the Mt. Vrachionas succession conglomerate (Zakynthos, Greece; Dermitzakis, 1978). This species occurs also in various coeval deposits from central and southern Italy: Mattinata (Gargano), Rio Arno (Gran Sasso), Conca di Cittareale (Rieti). The new species is a potential additional marker of SBZ 2 (Shallow Benthic Zones sensu Serra-Kiel et al., 1998), and represents a noteworthy occurrence in the frame of the biotic recovery after the K/T event, as well as the co-occurring larger foraminiferal assemblages. The investigated specimens come from a conglomerate cropping out along the Romiri/Macherado-Agalas road, near the village of Kiliomeno, Zakynthos, Ionian Islands, Greece (37°44.603' N 20°47.795' E). The age of the assemblage is Selandian, SBZ 2 sensu Serra-Kiel et al. (1998). Miscellanea n. sp. occurs with Haddonia praeheissigi Samuel, Köhler & Borza, 1977, Haymanella paleocenica Sirel, 1998, Kayseriella decastroi Sirel, 1998, Globoflarina sphaeroidea (Fleury, 1982), Pseudocuvillierina sireli (Inan, 1988) and Helenalveolina cf. rahaghii nom. nud. in Drobne et al.
