During a restudy of the foraminiferal genera and their reclassification, we found that certain previously described species did not agree with the definition of the genera to which they had been assigned. Hence, twelve new generic names are proposed here. Kechenotiske, with type species Hyperamminoides expansus Plummer, 1945, ranges from the Pennsylvanian to Lower Cretaceous; Sacchararena, type species Hyperammina spinescens Cushman and Waters, 1928, is found in the Pennsylvanian and Permian; Sansabaina, type species Hyperammina elegantissima Plummer, 1945, occurs from the Upper Devonian to the Permian; Scherochorella, type species Reophax minuta Tappan, 1940, is found from the Mississippian to the Holocene; Atactolituola, type species Reophax subgoodlandensis Vanderpool, 1933, occurs in the Lower Cretaceous; Sculptobaculites, type species Ammobaculites goodlandensis Cushman and Alexander, 1930, occurs in the Middle Cretaceous; and Simobaculites, type species Ammobaculites cuyleri Tappan, 1940, is found from the Upper Pennsylvanian to lower Miocene. In addition, the genera Archimerismus, type species Hyperammina subnodosa Brady, 1884, Glaphyrammina, type species Ammobaculites americanus Cushman, 1910, Leptohalysis, type species Reophax catella Höglund, 1947, Resigella, type species Nodellum moniliforme Resig, 1982, and Warrenita, type species Sulcophax palustris Warren, 1957, are known only as living taxa.
