This makes a detailed comparison SYSTEMATICS to the other Upper Cretaceous genera of the Orbitolinidae superfluous. Douglass (1960, p. 256) stated that "it is Phylum Foraminifera d'Orbigny, 1826 likely" that Dictyoconella "is merely a variant of the ge- Class Globothalamea Pawlowski et al., 2013 nus Iraqia". This assumption must be rejected because of Order Loftusiida Kaminski and Mikhalevich in Kamin- the difference in the central zone: reticulate in Iraqia (e.g. ski, 2004 Moullade, 1965) and pillaroid in Dictyoconella.
