FAMILY CLIONAIDAE D’ ORBIGNY, 1851 View in CoL
Diagnosis: Hadromerida with limestone-excavating capability, having tylostyles as principal megascleres, in some specimens generally accompanied by oxeas or styloid modifications. Miroscleres may be absent entirely or in some specimens or populations. If present, they include spirasters, amphiasters, microxeas, microrhabds or rhaphides; some spirasters display secondary branching of spines, microrhabds may be smooth or microspined, straight, bent, or spiral ( Rützler, 2002a).
