The only recorded localities for this rare and elegant form are 

 Raine Island, Torres Straits, and the Philippines. One of our 

 specimens differs from Brady's figured examples in having the 

 primordial extremity not developed into a spine (the other 

 example being imperfect) ; otherwise the test is comparable in 

 all respects, and clearly referable to the species. 



B., very rare ; T., very rare.
