TYPE GENUS. — Baeria Miklucho-Maclay, 1870 by original designation.
DIAGNOSIS. — Baeriida with a choanoskeleton consisting of giant triactines, and/or of tetractines in no particular order, and/or of very numerous microdiactines. No traces of radial organization can be seen in the choanoskeleton. The cortical skeleton consists of triactines, giant diactines, and/or numerous microdiactines, and occasionally the basal actines of cortical giant tetractines. The choanoskeleton consists of scattered spicules similar to those observed in the cortex, to which numerous microdiactines can be added, or which can be entirely replaced by microdiactines. The exhalant aquiferous system is formed by ramified canals that have no tangential skeleton, being loosely or densely covered by harpoon-shaped pugioles and/or microdiactines.
