Etymology. For Nicole Boury-Esnault in recognition of her dedicated work on the taxonomy of sponges, including calcareous sponges.
Type species. Nicola tetela ( Borojevic & Peixinho, 1976) View in CoL
Diagnosis. Clathrinida with a globular to ovoid body composed of parallel tubes that coalesce at the apical and basal regions. They do not anastomose nor ramify. The skeleton exclusively contains sagittal spicules: triactines and tetractines. The paired actines are rudimentary and they form a straight angle (180°s). The unpaired actine is always the longest actine. Diactines including trichoxeas may be added. The aquiferous system is asconoid.
