Diagnosis Test elongate, tubular, branching dichotomously but sparsely; wall thin and flexible, with large amount of organic material and with embedded sand grains, tests of other foraminifers, or radiolarians; aperture at the ends of the tubes. Holocene, in deep water, 1,260m to 5,800 m; N. and S. Atlantic; N. and S. Pacific. (Loeblich & Tappan, 1987, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification) [details]
