Diagnosis Colonial hydroids, branched or not, perisarc not ensheathing bases of tentacles; hydranth with one whorl of filiform tentacles; gonophores on specialized blastostyles replacing a hydranth, numerous, released as swimming ciliated sporosacs provided with one or two tentacle-like processes at their proximal end (tentaculoids).
