Diagnosis
Arborescent growth forms with solid digitate branches of irregular diameter, dichotomously divided and swollen terminal parts (Fig. 8A). Surface even, smooth and pierced by numerous ostia. Oscula numerous, irregularly scattered, or linearly distributed, tubuliform. Surface minutely reticulated. Texture elastic. Ectosomal skeleton (Fig. 8B) irregular, fine network with rounded mesh, formed by fine aspicular fibres, cored by abundant foreign material. Choanosomal skeleton a network of principal longitudinal divergent aspicular fibres, abundantly cored by sand and foreign spicules. Connecting fine secondary fibres, free of inclusions. Foreign inclusions present in and/or outside the fibres make it difficult to observe the skeletal framework. No proper spicules. Spongin present.
