in the basal parts. It surrounds a wide flattened central atrium, whose surface is pierced by large oval exhalant cavities. Inside the sponge wall, each cavity divides into several channels that run perpendicularly to the atrial surface. The surface of exhalant cavities is hispid due to the presence of the long apical actines of tangential tetractines. The surface of the main atrial cavity is smooth or only slightly echinated by short apical actines of atrial tetractines. The choanosome is composed of tubes, radially arranged at the distal part, and somewhat irregular in the proximal one, where they open into the exhalant canals and cavities.
