Diagnosis

Clathrinidae in which the choanoderm is flat or rarely raised up into conules by the apical actines of the tetractines, but never forms true folds (at least when the sponge is in the normal physiological extended state). The full-grown cormus is composed of anastomosed tubes. The skeleton is composed of regular equiangular and equiradiate triactines and/or tetractines, to which diactines or tripods may be added.
