Diagnosis Test large, up to 4 mm in length, uniserial, rectilinear, moniliform in appearance because the elongate ovate chambers are separated by their respective necks, each new chamber attaching to the upper margin of the previous apertural lip, so that the test is fragile and rarely preserved entire; wall agglutinated, thin, but with several layers of very fine quartz grains and some sponge spicules, yellowish to brownish in color, without organic lining; aperture rounded, terminal on a distinct neck, with somewhat flared lip. Holocene; N. Atlantic, rare at 180 m to 2,700 m; S. Atlantic at 3,800 m to 4,400 m; Antarctic at 3,900 m to 5,200 m; Pacific at 2,150 m to 7,900 m; Caribbean Sea at 800 m to 1,932 m; Gulf of Mexico, at 420 m to 2,660 m.
