Remarks. This species is commonly reported from the Pliocene–Recent of the northwest Pacific (e.g., Thompson, 1980; Khusid et al., 2005, 2006; Bubenshchikova et al., 2008). Hanagata (2008) reported it from the Oligocene of southern Hokkaido.

Incertae sedis order

Order LAGENIDA ( Delage and Hérouard, 1896) Superfamily NODOSARIACEA Ehrenberg, 1838

Family CHRYSALOGONIDAE Mikhalevich, 1993

Genus EPELISTOMA Hayward and Kawagata in Hayward et al. (2012)

Epelistoma sp. A

Figure 7.7

Remarks. Only one specimen is found complete. Differs from Nodosaria lamnulifera Thalmann (1950) by possessing twice as many costae (about 12), which do not extend the full length of the test, and some merge with each other. It also superficially resembles Epelistoma crassitesta ( Schwager, 1866) , but differs in being smaller and possessing fewer longitudinal costae (about 20–25 in E. crassitesta ).
