Original Description
Editors' Notes
"1998 marks IMAM's return to the Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie, Monatshefte with a manuscript submitted in May 1997. This article deals with the description of a new species of planktonic foraminifer: Clavatorella salumensis n.sp. But his Figure 3.1, called the "holotype", is in fact the holotype of Protentella (Clavatorella) nicobarensis SRINIVASAN et KENNETT, 1974 (op. cit.: Pl. 3, fig. 11), which these authors also illustrated in 1975: Pl. 3, fig. 11. IMAM's Figures 3.2 and 3.3, his "paratypes", were also taken from the same paper (SRINIVASAN & KENNETT, 1974: Pl. 3, respectively figs. 12 and 13, a paratype and a topotype of their species). On the basis of an excerpt from IMAM's text: "The new species also shows a great resemblance to Clavatorella nicobarensis SRINIVASAN & KENNETT but differs in that the latter taxon (Clavatorella nicobarensis) has less swollen extremities of the ultimate chambers and the specimen figured by SRINIVASAN & KENNETT (1974) (pl. 1, Figs. 1, 11) is almost biumbilicate", we can state that following this piece of deceit IMAM felt confident he would never be caught."

All that published by these authors are fake and barren of any truth. They have written this article on the basis of granier paper that have been written after imam attack granier in his published papers. They based their conclusions on flased data and fabricated this article to destroy the reputation of the author
Thank you for your comment, I do not currently have a PDF copy of the paper (Imam 1998), if you can send me a PDF copy of the article I will be happy to re-examine the case. Jeremy Young
