The margin is sharp and there are indications of sparse diactin marginalia in deck images, but we have been unable to verify them in the material at hand.

Choanosomal skeleton consists of a loose, vacuolar network of thin choanosomal diactins, large choanosomal hexactins, and the thicker proximal rays of the hypodermal pentactins. There is no evidence of fusion between any spicules. Microscleres are scattered evenly throughout the choanosome. Ectosomal skeleton of the dermal side consists of abundant prostal pentactins supporting a delicate lattice of hexactine, pentactine, and stauractine dermalia. The atrial ectosome lacks hypoatrial pentactins but has bands of diactins that support the atrial lattice of hexactins, providing greater support than available to the dermal lattice. Microscleres are present as in the choanosome.

) are spherical with stellate discs with 4-6 marginal claws on the ends of terminal rays. Primary rays are smooth and end in strobiloid discs with a short central projecting knob. Each primary strobilum supports 30-40 terminal rays with undulating, probably helically coiled, finely rough shafts of unequal lengths. Terminal discs vary in diameter with shaft length, the longer shafts carrying the larger discs, e.g., a series 1.7, 2.5, 3.1, 3.4, 3.6, 5.4, 6.9

in length. These spicules look very different in LM (lower image) and SEM (upper image) due to collapse of the rays during drying for SEM and support of them by balsam in LM.
