FAMILY CLATHRINIDAE MINCHIN, 1900 View in CoL

Diagnosis: Clathrinida with an essentially tubular organization. A continuous choanoderm lines all the internal cavities. Growth is by longitudinal median division and anastomosis of tubes to form large units called the cormus. There is neither a common cortex nor a well-defined inhalant and exhalant aquiferous system.
