Family DIADUMENIDAE Stephenson, 1920

Diagnosis

Thenaria (Acontiaria) whose acontia are provided with basitrichs and microbasic p-mastigophores. No distinct sphincter. Some or all of the inner tentacles typically forming catch-tentacles provided with atrichs and holotrichs; but sometimes apparently these special nematocysts are lacking in individuals of a species which does possess them.
