Description

Family Hymerhabdiidae Morrow, Picton, Erpenbeck, Boury-Esnault, Maggs & Allcock, 2012

Genus Prosuberites Topsent, 1893

Diagnosis. Thinly encrusting sponges with hispid surface. Skeleton consisting of a single layer, or loose tracts of long tylostyles oriented perpendicularly to the substrate, basal spicules have their heads embedded in a basal plate of spongin. Spicules are tylostyles of variable size, but no distinctly localised size categories (modified from Van Soest 2002b).
