DIAGNOSIS. — Clathrinida with either a tubular, ramified or anastomosed cormus with many oscula, or in the form of single tubes with a large terminal single osculum. The tubes have a large atrium surrounded by a strong wall composed of a distinct cortex and a choanosome. The cortical skeleton is composed of large tangential triactines and/or tetractines. The choanoskeleton can be absent, reduced to apical actines of cortical tetractines, or contains small and irregularly dispersed triactines and tetractines.
