Massive, globular or elongated-globular sponges of about 0.8 to 2.5 cm.

Smaller cortical triactines of size and shape of choanosomal triactines, which are equiangular and equiradiate, with conical, sharp-tipped actines. Tetractines of canal walls: Equiangular and equiradiate, with conical, sharp-tipped actines, the basal system with slightly shorter actines than the smaller triactines. The apical actines are straight or slightly curved. |
