Diagnosis
Upright, tubular or digitate thorectids (Fig. 1D–F) in which both primary and secondary fibres are fully charged with detritus (Fig. 1G–H) to an extent which, in some species, can obscure the stratified nature of the spongin. The primary skeleton can show some fasciculation near the surface. The surface of the sponge always retains a distinctly conulose appearance, despite the presence in some species of extraneous detritus throughout the matrix. Primary fibres terminate in the conules, and as a consequence of the sandy inclusions these can appear whitish against the dark sponge surface. The texture of the sponge ranges from compressible to quite firm, even brittle, reflecting the degree of development of the skeleton, which in some species can be irregular and reduced, and the extent to which matrix debris is accumulated.
