This species described from Samoa occurs abundantly at 24 fathoms 

 off Nairai, Fiji; it was found rarely in only two other samples of the 

 present collections. Specimens are recognized by their nearly plani- 

 spiral coiling, evolute on one side and involute with a deep, open 

 umbilicus on the other. The dense punctation distributed equally on 

 both dorsal and ventral sides also serves to distinguish the species.

Only rare specimens were found in two of the samples (Albatross 

 stations H3816 and H3914). The species is apparently a deep-water 

 species and probably has a cosmopolitan distribution. 



The species is easily recognizable by its coarsely porous wall on 

 the one (convex) side and the smooth and very finely punctate wall on 

 the other (flat or concave) side. The smooth-walled side clearly shows 

 signs of attachment. One or several irregular spinelike protruding 

 extensions of the chambers are usually present.

This species was described from shallow water around Saipan. 

 Only single specimens were found at Mokaujar Anchorage, Fiji, and 

 Guam Anchorage, Ladrone [Marianas] Islands.
