Genus Lamontia Kirk, 1895 View in CoL
TYPE SPECIES. — Lamontia zona Kirk, 1895 by monotypy.
DIAGNOSIS. — Baeriidae in which the choanoskeleton consists of microdiactines. Cortical and atrial skeletons have triactines and tetractines, and the cortex is pierced by large diactines. A specialized ostia-bearing zone, located below the osculum, leads the incurrent water flow to inhalant cavities.
DESCRIPTION
Lamontia is a particular sponge, which bears a number of similarities with Baeria . The choanoskeleton is composed of microdiactines, and there are pugioles in the skeleton of the exhalant aquiferous system. It is distinguished by a special ostiabearing zone and large diactines, which make the sponge hispid.
