Reophax pseudobacillaris Cushman, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 38, 1910, p. 438, 

 figs. 2, 3. 



Description. — Test elongate, arcuate, composed of a linear series 

 of chambers; chambers shorter than broad in surface view, except the 

 one last-formed, which appears nearly spherical, numerous, 16 to 20 

 or more; wall arenaceous, fairly coarse for the size of the test, 

 slightly rough on the exterior; aperture small, in the middle of the 

 terminal face of the chamber; color, dark reddish-brown. 



Length up to 2 mm. 



Specimens of this species have occurred at two stations; common 

 at D5236, Pacific Ocean, east coast Mindanao, 494 fathoms (903 

 meters), 41.2° F. (5.1° C), and rarely at D5613, Gulf of Tomini, off 

 Celebes, 752 fathoms (1,375 meters), bottom temperature not given. 



This species, while it has somewhat the appearance of R. hacillaris 

 H. B. Brady, is much smaller, more arcuate, and has a dark reddish- 

 brown color.
