The following is a description of this species: Test small, discoidal, much thickened in the central portion, from which it tapers rather rapidly to the subacute periphery; central protuberant portion with a series of large pustules ranging from 5 to 12 or more in number, of which one is usually central, surface reticulate between the pustules; the margins stellate; periphery of the test thin and slightly reticulated by the walls of the equatorial chambers. Vertical sections show the general form and curvature of the surface of the test, the few pillars in the central region rapidly in- creasing in diameter toward the surface of the test; lateral chambers with the outer wall convex, averaging about three times as wide as high; in the central region with as many as 10 chambers in the vertical columns; equatorial chambers not increasing rapidly in height; height of those at the periphery not more than double that of those near the center. Horizontal sections show the embryonic chambers, which are unequal, the larger one partially surrounding the smaller, as in the subgenus Nephrolepidina of H. Douville and the equatorial chambers more or less diamond-shaped, as in that subgenus. In other specimens the outer wall of the chamber is convex. Diameter 2 to 5 mm. Distribution.—Specimens seemingly identical with this species were found at the following stations in Cuba: 75
