Diagnosis
Body is tubular or saccular, basiphytose, thin-walled. Choanosomal skeleton is composed of diactines sometimes with some hexactines. Hypodermal spicules are regular pentactines. Dermalia are combinations of various spicules, from hexactines to diactines. Atrialia are hexactines. Microscleres are combinations of hexasters, hemihexasters and hexactines.
