Diagnosis
Body is fungus-like or cup-like, basiphytose with long stalk. Choanosomal spicules are diactines and hexactines. Dermalia are pinular hexactines sometimes together with pentactines. Atrialia are pinular pentactines, sometimes hexactines or both. Hypodermalia and hypoatrialia are pentactines. Microscleres are represented chiefly by spicules with discoidal and onychoidal terminations (rarely with oxyoidal ones).
