Abstract

A study was made of the soft-shelled foraminifera of intertidal meiobenthos from four sandy beaches on the southeast of the Azuero Peninsula, the oceanic rectilinear beaches, exposed shoreline, and macrotidal dissipative beaches, with spilling waves, and average wave height less than 0,28 m (Los Guayaberos, Bella Vista, and La Yeguada), while El Rincón beach showed as intermediate, with plunging waves, with an average wave height of less than 0,67 m. It was sampled with a 2,54 cm diameter drill introduced 5 cm into the sediment. A material dyed with Bengale Rose was observed on the microscope and the presence of four soft shelled foraminfera types, not reported on the sandy beaches of the Panamanian Pacific was detected, such as: Psammosphaera sp., Sacamminid sp., Allogromia sp., in all the beaches, also an Allogromid, Tinogullmia type in Bella Vista beach.
