Description. —TQ^i usually wider than high, triangular in front 

 view, broadly oval in end view, slightly compressed, apex bluntly 

 pointed; chambers comparatively few, distinct; sutures distinct, 

 slightly depressed, wall arenaceous, smooth, or slightly roughened; 

 aperture a narrow slit at the base of the inner margin of the last- 

 formed chamber; color gray. 



Length 1 mm. or less. 



Distribution. — The original specimens which d'Orbigny had were
