It might be anthillia ,....but you should look up Efflatunaria(sp) it resembles Cespitularia and is in the Xeniidae family it might be that .

i found the best pic. i could find of what I believe to be Efflatounaria . It resembles Cespitualria but it is different. I hope you can see what i mean in the pic .
