Original description Diagnosis. Test free or attached, flattened or spherical, composed of an undifferentiated three-dimensional meshwork of sponge spicules with no distinct surface layer or internal lumen. Interior structures clearly visible within at least the outer part of this structure. Stercomata form loose aggregations that occupy much of space between spicules, but are easily washed out in preserved specimens. Granellare tube with relatively thick organic wall enclosing cytoplasm and forming pale yellowish branching system weaving between spicules.
