Diagnosis
Boring sponges, excavating calcareous substrates (molluscs, coral rocks); externally visible by their fistulose tubes. Skeleton formed only of spicule-bundles in sinuous bands, not in a network, lining walls of fistules. Spicules short, slender, curved oxeas. Without microscleres. (From Johnson 1899 and Thomas 1968c).
