During a wider study of the Late Cretaceous sediments of the Indian Ocean, a number of low to intermediate palaeolatitude sites were found to contain diverse species of Ceratolithoides which have not previously been illustrated. Ten new species are described herein: C. amplector sp. nov., C. brevicorniculans sp. nov., C. indiensis sp. nov., C longissimus sp. nov., C. pricei sp. nov., C. prominens sp. nov., C. quasiarcuatus sp. nov., C. self-trailiae sp. nov., C. sesquipedalis sp. nov. and C. ultimus sp. nov., The stratigraphical utility and palaeogeographical preferences of each species are discussed, and a number of possible evolutionary trends are outlined.
