Diagnosis

Massive (gamma) growth form, with oxea megascleres in two size classes, the larger forming a compact choanosomal skeleton, the smaller forming an ectosomal palisade, and with an intermediate category of oxeas (or occasionally modified styles) forming a sparse paratangential subectosomal skeleton that protrudes through the surface. Microscleres are minute amphiasters (diplaster-like), and granulated centro-angulate microstrongyles.
