Siphogenerina costata Schlumberger, Feuille des Jeunes Naturalistes, ann.

Test elongate, cylindrical or tapering, chambers of the uniserial 

 portion broader than long; surface marked by several rather widely 

 separated, well-developed costae, each extending nearly the length of 

 the test, independent of the sutures; aperture typically with a short 

 tubular neck and well-developed flaring lip. 



Length around 1 mm. 



Distribution. — Parker and Jones when they described this species 

 had specimens from the following localities: "West Indies, Panama, 

 India (on clam-shell), Bombay Harbour (anchor-mud). Hong Kong 

 (anchor-mud), Australian Coral-reefs (17 fathoms)." In the Chal- 

 lenger Report Brady gives the following records: "shore sands, Ber- 

 muda, West Indies, Panama, and Madagascar; anchor-mud, Port 

 Louis, Mauritius; dredged sands, off Calpentyn, Ceylon, 2 fathoms, 

 off Kerguelen Island, 12 fathoms, off the Philippines, 95 fathoms, off 

 Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, 40 fathoms; and at fifteen stations 

 amongst the islands of the South Pacific, at depths ranging from 2 

 fathoms to 260 fathoms." Egger records it also from off Mauritius. 

 Chapman had it from numerous stations about Funafuti, some of 

 which are in deep water, the greatest depth 2,728 fathoms. He also 

 found it common from shallow depths in the lagoon to 300 fathoms
