Description.
Hemispherical mass, size up to 12 × 9 ×
4 cm
. Surface, sharp conules covered with thin perforated filamentous membrane. Fine fasciculate fibres appeared under membrane. Several oscules open on sponge surface,
15 mm
in diameter. Colour pale gray and beige in life. Texture firm and compressible.
Skeleton: Primary fibres loose fascicles, 400-1000 μm in diameter, with numerous perforations. Fasciculate or porous secondary fibres branched out. Bridge form of secondary fibres, 50-200 μm in diameter. Filaments, 3-5 μm in diameter, terminal knobs, 10-12 μm in diameter. Fibres difficult to separate from filaments.
Etymology.
This species name
dentilus
is named after teethlike surface conules.
Remark.
This new species is characterized by perforating membrane with numerous opening. Loose fasciculate primary fibres have numerous perforation.
