Family THEONELLIDAE Lendenfeld, 1903 View in CoL
REMARKS
Fossil sponges with tetracladine desmas and phyllotriaene dermalia have been traditionally included by paleontologists in the family Discodermiidae Schrammen, 1910 . The scope of this family (apart from microscleres which are absent in fossils) seems to be the same as the family Theonellidae Lendenfeld, 1903 of zoologists, which has priority (Brimaud & Vachard 1986). Also the family Lerouxidae Moret, 1926 differs neither in choanosomal nor dermal skeleton from Theonellidae Lendenfeld , and is here included in Theonellidae .
