Diagnosis Test large, elongate, with globular proloculus followed by elongate tubular chambers, with somewhat irregular size increase, separated only by constrictions of the wall that do not form true septa; wall agglutinated, thin at the base of the proloculus, becoming thicker toward the aperture, and many grains thick in the remainder of the test, of coarse quartz grains firmly held in a small amount of cement, with inner proteinaceous layer; aperture terminal, rounded, at the somewhat constricted end of the final chamber. Holocene; N. Atlantic from 40 m to 900 m; S. Atlantic at 700 m; S. Pacific at 2,850 m to 5,200 m; N. Pacific from 4,600 m.
