Test compressed, periphery rounded, and in side view lobulate; 

 chambers inflated, increasing in size somewhat as added; sutures 

 depressed, distinct; wall ornamented with fine spinose projections 

 along the periphery, the main portion of the sides of the chambers 

 having irregular, raised costae, which tend to form a chevronlike 

 pattern with the angle opening toward the periphery; aperture at the 

 base of the apertural face, indistinct. Length, 0.55 mm; breadth, 

 0.45 mm; thickness, 0.2 mm. 



This is a typical Indo-Pacific species. Millett records it from the 

 Mala}^ Archipelago, and Heron-Allen and Earland from 15 stations 

 in the Kerimba Archipelago of}" southeast Africa. Sidebottom's 

 records give it from 465 fathoms off the east coast of Australia, and 

 I have recorded it from, this same region as well as from Samoa. It 

 has not been common in our present material, but occurred at Vavau 

 Anchorage, Tonga Islands, in 18 fathoms, and in 12 fathoms off 

 Nairai, Fiji.
