pointed spines; wall coarsely arenaceous; aperture an elongate slit at 

 the base of the inner margin of the chamber. 



Length 1-1.5 mm. 



Distribution. — -The only North Pacific record for this species is 

 that of the Challenger station 209, in 95 fathoms off the Philippines, 

 where it is recorded by Brady as "tolerably abundant."
