with polygonal large-meshed reticulation formed by wispy tracts of anisostyles. Megascleres are typically smooth and sinuous, occasionally polytylote anisostyles to which terminally spined styles or diactinal spicules may be added. Microscleres are anisodiscorhabds. Aciculoanisodiscorhabds, amphiaster-like microscleres, and acanthomicroxeas are present in one or other of two species. Microscleres are disposed in a palisade in the outer ectosome (
