Conicotheca nigrans is a species of benthic Foraminifera that was first identified from samples collected from the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench.[2][3] C. nigrans has a test or outer shell of agglutinated organic materials and minerals.[2] As a species belonging to a basal clade of foraminifera, the order Allogromiida, C. nigrans may be informative about the evolution of the forams.[4]
