Genus Leuconia Grant, 1833 View in CoL

“ Baeriidae in which the choanoskeleton consists of giant triactines and/or tetractines, lying without apparent order, and of very numerous microdiactines. A cavity equivalent to the atrium, localised only under the oscula, has a skeleton supported by tangential triactines. All the other exhalant canals have a skeleton composed of harpoon-shaped pugioles” ( Borojevic et al. 2002).
