Diagnosis Test free or less commonly attached, sub-globular, 0.3 mm to 1.6 mm in diameter, with up to five irregular mammillae or projections from the surface; wall agglutinated, flexible, thin, with mineral grains cemented to a transparent organic lining that remains visible in living specimens where no foreign particles are present in the area of attachment but that rapidly disintegrates at death, hence is not preserved in the sediments; apertures at the open ends of the tubular projections. Holocene, in marshes; W. Atlantic, USA: Massachusetts, Maine, Virginia; Canada: Prince Edward Island; Brazil: State of Rio de Janeiro; Germany: Kieler Bucht.
