Diagnosis
Body is saccular, lophophytose or basiphytose. Choanosomal skeleton is composed of diactines. Hypodermal spicules are orthotropal pentactines which may serve as prostalia basalia being anchorate. Dermalia are combinations of stauractines, pentactines and hexactines. Atrialia are mainly hexactines. Microscleres are pappocomes and combinations of: macrodiscohexasters with strobiloidal primary rays and numerous secondary rays of different length, microdiscohexasters also with strobiloidal primary rays and not obligate mesodiscohexasters, hexasters, hemihexasters and asters.
