Summary Diverse and extremely well-preserved assemblages of planktonic foraminifera were recovered from three drill holes through the Eocene/Oligocene boundary in southern Tanzania (Tanzania Drilling Project Sites 11, 12, and 17). The excellent state of preservation of the tests permits detailed investigation of wall textures and surface ornamentation, helping us to elucidate details of functional morphology and clarify the species-level and higher taxonomy of the group. We illustrate and discuss the taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of 14 genera and 35 species including three new species: Globoturborotalita barbula n. sp., Subbotina tecta n. sp., and Dentoglobigerina taci n. sp.
