Ianthellidae with thickened fan-, club-, or cup-shaped growth form, with discrete oscular and poral surface or localised oscular regions. The sponge is cavernous, with extremely thick fibres which form an irregular three dimensional anastomosing reticulum, soft tissue is sparse in relation to fibrous material. The fibres have substantial pith and a bark component in which numerous degenerate spongocytes are arranged in concentric annuli. The choanocyte chambers are eurypylous elongate-oval and sometimes branched.
